Proceeding contribution from Kerry McCarthy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 May 2011. It occurred during Debate on Charter for Budget Responsibility.

Charter for Budget Responsibility

I shall come in a few moments to some of the Government's measures that have done precisely the opposite of what the hon. Lady claims. Will the Minister explain why thousands of people with disabilities—people in wheelchairs, people with chronic illnesses and so forth—were protesting outside Parliament today under the banner of the Hardest Hit campaign, supported by reputable charities? Is she saying that being hit by what the Government are doing is a figment of their imagination?
