Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 April 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 3) Bill.


Finance (No. 3) Bill

I agree entirely with everything my hon. Friend has said. The Government have completely failed to understand the importance of demand in the economy if we are to get growth, and demand looks as though it is weakening. Even the Treasury now estimates that by the end of this Parliament, borrowing will overshoot by £11 billion. The Government are driving the economy in precisely the wrong direction.
