Debate between Stephen Doughty and Owen Paterson

Wednesday 5th June 2013 Commons Chamber

[Stephen Doughty (Cardiff South and Penarth) (Lab/Co-op)]

I have read the results of the project closely, and I would like to know what lessons he has learned.

[Mr Paterson]

The hon. Gentleman raises an important point, but I ask him to wait a few minutes because I am coming on to deal with it. Let me first finish off the international comparisons.
