Estimates Debate Dr Kennedy Graham 'A Sustainable Economy'
I listened with interest to the Minister just then, expounding—certainly at the end, at least—his Government’s policies pertaining to the Appropriation (2010/11 Estimates) Bill. It strikes me that the single emphasis that has come through in that bill, both in the presentation of the Budget and in the debate ever since, has been simply on economic growth. That is not just one of a raft of policies that the Government is promoting; it constitutes the central plank of this Government’s raison d’être.
