Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 2 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
National debt is sometimes essential. After all, I seem to recall that it was very much higher at the end of the second world war than it has been at any time since. There were reasons for that, and I believe we finished paying it down only a few years ago. Sometimes, we have debt because we have made essential or useful investment, and of course it is not the same as deficit.
