Proceeding contribution from Chris Williamson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 2 July 2014. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The Minister has just asserted that the economy is growing strongly, but I am surprised by that. Will he help the House by comparing that “strong growth” with the growth that took place in the 1950s, 1960s, 1970s and even in the 1980s, at a time, before the regrettable election of Margaret Thatcher, when regulation was significantly greater than it is today and when trade unions were more numerous than they are now? How does this “strong growth” compare with what happened in the period I have just outlined?
