Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Andy Sawford (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 July 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.

I think construction is an incredibly important part of the economy, so I think it is right that the hon. Member for Central Devon (Mel Stride) suggests that the review six months after the spending review would look at construction. I hope it would explore the

figures that I have seen, suggesting that the volume of new construction orders fell by 10% between quarter 4 of 2012 and quarter 1 of 2013. Construction is going in the wrong direction at the moment, and we need to know from the review whether the measures in the spending review will actually make that worse.
