Part of Business, Innovation and Skills – in the House of Commons at 10:30 am on 27 October 2011.

Friend Ed Balls to bring forward infrastructure projects in order to increase employment and build manufacturing capacity in the United Kingdom. Given falling growth and rising unemployment, would it not be prudent for the Business Secretary to support that plan?
