Proceeding contribution from Stella Creasy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.


Living Standards

We all welcomed the establishment of the OBR because of the independence it gives. The full quotation from the OBR states that"““an external inflation shock constraining real household consumption””" is the reason for the revision in growth forecasts. How does the Secretary of State think that bearing down further on family incomes will help our economy to grow again?
