Proceeding contribution from John Howell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 27 February 2012. It occurred during Estimates day on Forensic Science Service.


Forensic Science Service

I thank my hon. Friend for giving way again—he is being incredibly generous—but may I take him back to the point that he was edging towards making? By proposing a £50 million subsidy in March 2009 for the transition arrangements, did the previous Government send a message that they were not interested in the private sector? Does he agree that that did more damage than anything else to their scope for investment at that time?
