Ian Murray

Labour — Edinburgh South

Speaking in the House of Commons on 4 December 2024

Debate

Economic Growth

Contribution

Economic growth is the No. 1 mission of this Government, as the hon. Gentleman knows. When the Chancellor came to the Dispatch Box to deliver her Budget, she started on minus £22 billion—that black hole left for us by the previous Government. We chose investment over decline and we chose to end austerity, so tough decisions had to be made.
