Proceeding contribution from Helen Goodman (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 29 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Autumn Statement.

Autumn Statement

The Chancellor ended his statement by talking about quack doctors. Of course, in the book ““George's Marvellous Medicine””, George makes a potion to shrink his grandmother. Does the Chancellor of the Exchequer not understand that he will not grow the British economy by cutting tax credits, because that will make it uneconomic for many women to go out to work?
