Debate between Gareth Thomas and George Freeman

Thursday 9th December 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Thomas]

I cannot criticise the Secretary of State for not giving way to those on the Front Bench. However, if we had had more time, as Labour Members sought from the Government last night, far more Members from all parts of the House could have intervened in the debate.

[George Freeman (Mid Norfolk) (Con)]

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that the points about debt that he and his hon. Friends have made would carry a little more weight if they had not left every man, woman and child in this country with a debt of £22,000?
