Three business men approached me separately at the weekend, requesting that I make representations to the Government for such relief, even if it is reintroduced only for the period of the Recession and the Financial Crisis.

47 million, more than 500,000 less than many experts predicted when the Recession and Financial Crisis started and more than 500,000 less, too, than in the 1980s and 1990s recessions.

The key point, which my right hon. Friend underlines, is that the right strategy for the Government during the Recession and the Worst Financial Crisis since the 1930s, was not to sit by and do nothing, or to watch as unemployment went through 3 million not once but twice, but to act, to save jobs, to keep people in their homes, and to keep businesses moving.

The fact is that his party was demanding ever more spending on the armed forces in the midst of the Recession and the Financial Crisis.

It was very substantial even before we got into This Major Recession and Financial Crisis.

This gives the lie to the view that the Recession and the Financial Crisis were Labour's fault.

We earned a hard-fought recovery from Recession and the Financial Crisis.
