Economic Growth and Employment

I appreciate that, and I shall continue to listen intently to all the hon. Gentleman says. The challenge that this country faces to restore growth is immense. It needs good ideas from both sides of the House and full commitment to the task. On that point, may I say gently to my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State, who is a noble individual and a good gentleman, that sometimes people feel that the commitment to the free market and business is not there 100% of the time in his Department? It is seems as if the Secretary of State and the Department are like Dr Cable and Mr Hyde. The Secretary of State embraces the idea of business and likes the free-market approach, but the other personality likes to hang out with a bunch of people on a camping holiday outside a well-known church musing on the merits of capitalism.
