Inward Investment (Wales)

Proceeding contribution from Jonathan Edwards (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 November 2012. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Inward Investment (Wales).

The UK Government, to be fair, have the laudable aim of rebalancing the economy geographically and sectorally. I know of one of their initiatives—the national insurance holidays for new employees—but what other measures are the UK Government intending to introduce to rebalance the UK economy geographically? The reality is that the UK—the British state—is the most unequal state in the whole of the European Union.
