Proceeding contribution from Chris Ruane (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 20 October 2011. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Work Programme (Wales).
Work Programme (Wales)
On objective 1, why did the hon. Gentleman’s Conservative Government not put in for this objective 1 funding in the 1980s and 1990s when they were closing down the steel mills and the coal mines? If we had had it 10 or 12 years earlier, Wales would have been recovering. It is a long slow process of decline that has hit Wales and that objective 1 money would have been welcomed then. They were too proud and anti-European.
