My hon. Friend is right to talk about the trade deficit. When I was at the G20 in North Carolina last week, there was a discussion about global trade imbalances, and that is something that we are considering putting on the agenda for our G20 presidency.
Kirsty Blackman (Aberdeen North) (SNP)
Labour promised £200 million for Grangemouth, none of which has materialised. Labour promised 1,000 jobs for GB Energy, and it turns out that a third of the 130 delivered so far are not actually in Scotland. If the Prime Minister’s localism project is not just for Manchester, what extra powers will be devolved to Scotland as a result of the decisions being made?
Emma Reynolds
Can I say gently to the hon. Lady that Scotland has rightly had plenty of devolution, but that does not mean that the two decades of SNP Government have been successful?
