Proceeding contribution from Owen Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 March 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on The Budget.


The Budget

Gentleman not concede that during the vast majority of the Labour years—11 out of 13—we saw successive periods of growth in our economy? Only in 2008 and 2009 did we see contraction.
