Baroness Stedman-Scott (Con)
I am not sure why the noble Lord says that the £500 million “goes nowhere near”. It is for a six-month, not 12-month, period. I will go back and make the points, as I have already done regularly—as have other colleagues—about the dire circumstances of the situation.
Lord Cormack (Con)
Does my noble friend agree that anybody who, like she, is a genuine one-nation Tory, is somewhat embarrassed?
Baroness Stedman-Scott (Con)
Sometimes we find things more difficult than others. That is how I would answer that but I am very proud of how this Government have responded with our plan for jobs. I hope all noble Lords will agree with that.
