Budget Resolutions

Debate between Wes Streeting and David Evennett

Monday 29th October 2018 Commons Chamber

[Sir David Evennett]

The hon. Lady did not listen. I said that incomes are going up ahead of inflation.

[Wes Streeting (Ilford North) (Lab)]

She did listen.

[Sir David Evennett]

It is no good those on the Opposition Benches ranting. There are still serious issues in our country and our economy, but we have to accentuate the positive and build upon it.

[Wes Streeting]

That is a bit of wishful thinking.

[Sir David Evennett]

No, it is not wishful thinking. It is fact. The hon. Gentleman would not have a clue about economics.
