Oral Answers to Questions — Work and Pensions: Pension Liberation Schemes (11 Mar 2013)

Andrew Bridgen: Many participants in pension liberation schemes pay extremely high interest rates on any loans that are taken out, and residual funds are invested at the discretion of the trustees, which can lead to insecure or poor investment decisions.

Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements ( 6 Mar 2013)

Andrew Bridgen: The widely disputed economic benefits of HS2 may or may not be realised in 20 years’ time.

Business of the House (28 Feb 2013)

Andrew Bridgen: On a day when the Royal Bank of Scotland announced a further £5 billion of losses, it is pertinent to call for a debate on the ongoing losses—currently around £20 billion —being suffered by the taxpayer as a result of the previous Government’s handling of the bank bail-outs in 2008. Mr Michael Cohrs, a member of the Bank of England’s Financial Policy Committee, stated recently that...

Opposition Day — [17th( )Allotted Day] — Horsemeat: Infrastructure (12 Feb 2013)

Andrew Bridgen: I thank the hon. Lady for giving way. Does she not recall that a pledge was slipped into and hidden away in the Labour manifesto to cut capital spending—that is, infrastructure spending—by 50% had her party formed the next Government?

[Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] — Manufacturing (East Midlands) (12 Feb 2013)

[Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] — Manufacturing (East Midlands) (12 Feb 2013)

Andrew Bridgen: I, too, would like to congratulate my hon. Friend the Member for Sherwood (Mr Spencer) on securing the debate. I very much enjoyed the evident passion and pride in his speech and his enthusiasm for manufacturing, quite rightly not only in his constituency but across the whole east midlands. I had better declare an interest, Mr Hollobone. I am the non-executive chairman of a fresh food...

[Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] — Manufacturing (East Midlands) (12 Feb 2013)

Andrew Bridgen: Absolutely. In North West Leicestershire we are a pioneering a bi-local campaign whereby local companies can register, and not only will the local authority look to procure from local firms offering services, but that website facility is then open to other companies in the district, and it is hoped that they will join in. However, I bring the hon. Gentleman back to the point that we cannot...

[Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] — Manufacturing (East Midlands) (12 Feb 2013)

Andrew Bridgen: I thank the hon. Gentleman for his comments, but I will not allow him or any other Labour Member to rewrite history. The fact is that under the previous Labour Government, manufacturing as a proportion of GDP in this country fell by 50%. It is not a record that I would be proud of if I were sitting on the Labour Benches. The hon. Gentleman should think on that. It is this Government who will...

[Mr Philip Hollobone in the Chair] — Manufacturing (East Midlands) (12 Feb 2013)

Andrew Bridgen: The hon. Lady is absolutely right. Public sector workers do vital work, but the answer is that all the wealth creation comes from the private sector. We cannot ask 50% of the economy to support itself and the other 50%. That is why we need to rebalance the economy. It is simple maths and it is why we have a deficit. In the 1980s, following the closure of the coal mines, we needed to rebalance...
