Most recent appearances

Business of the House (16 May 2013)

“Although there have been over 1,000 measles infections in Swansea since November, the number of live cases is in the dozens, not hundreds, because measles only lasts for three weeks. May we have an urgent debate about measles, and not only on the case for universal immunisation, but also to make the case that places such as Swansea are still open for business now—and for the centenary...”

Economic Growth (15 May 2013)

“Will the right hon. Gentleman give way?”

Economic Growth (15 May 2013)

“Does the Chancellor agree that the key problem is that the debt:GDP ratio will rise from 55% in 2010 to 85% by 2015? The answer to that problem is not just to cut the debt, but to increase GDP. Under Labour, GDP went up by 40% between 1997 and 2008, and the Chancellor inherited a growing economy which is now flatlining because of his policies.”
