Book of Estimates, 2003: Statements.
The House will recall in 1997 that the old age pension for a single person was less than £100 per week. Funding for the health service was approximately one third of what it is now and funding for people with disabilities was a fraction of its current level. Are we to continue spending at that rate? Those of us who operate in the private sector know the economy cannot continue to grow at 10% without capacity constraints. There is full employment but there will be other issues.
