Proceeding contribution from Jim Cunningham (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 December 2008. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Economy, Pensions and Welfare.
Economy, Pensions and Welfare
What I found very interesting during the shadow Chancellor's speech was the lack of an alternative. More importantly, he talked about decent housing, looking after families and so forth, but equally, he never said how he was going to do that. What we have had today is an absence of an alternative policy from the Opposition.
