Proceeding contribution from Claire O'Neill (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.
Living Standards
It is so refreshing to hear a grown-up make a speech from the Opposition Benches. Does the right hon. Gentleman agree, however, that quantitative easing took place originally in 2009—so the money was effectively already in the Bank of England's coffers at the time of the election—that since then interest rates in Britain have dropped by more than one percentage point, and that we are now borrowing money more cheaply than Germany?
