People are saying lets get some Liberals back in the House of Commons to talk some sense. Sense about the need to have a wages policy which is tied to productivity so that we can get away from these appalling pay freezes we've had under both Labour and Conservative administrations....wage agreements tied to productivity so that we can get guaranteed growth in our economy to produce the money that we need for the hospitals, the schools, the roads, for the social services. This is what we want. You know it's an appalling thing that at this moment because they have learned how to handle the question of economic growth, the people of France, of Germany of Holland, of Luxembourg, of Belgium, of Norway, and Denmark...all have a higher standard of living than the people of the United Kingdom. It's a fact." Initials OJP/CT/BB OJP/CT/MH Script is copyright Reuters Limited. All rights reserved
