Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.


The Economy

I am fascinated by the comparisons that have been given. Virtually all of the first group of countries that the hon. Gentleman mentioned have a very large public sector and a very comprehensive welfare system. It would appear that they have a competitive economy as well. Perhaps we should be looking more to the Scandinavian model.
