Proceeding contribution from John Hayes (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Economic Growth and Employment.


Economic Growth and Employment

I am sorry, I will not give way. I usually do but I do not have time. The OECD says that we have a £37 billion structural deficit and that it is the largest in the G7. It is not just about the Government debt. The hon. Member for Streatham must know that if we look at debt as a whole, we have the largest debt as a proportion of GDP in the developed world, with the exception of Japan.
