Proceeding contribution from Laurence Robertson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 March 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Northern Ireland Economy.
Northern Ireland Economy
I think that the hon. Gentleman would accept that my speech was based on the idea of growing the private sector. The Select Committee felt—not unanimously, but by and large—that cutting corporation tax to attract inward investment was a way of doing that. As a result of that the public sector would become a smaller percentage of the whole, without necessarily getting smaller.
