It Is Quite Clear From What Has Been Said And Written That, Time After Time After Time, There Has Been A Conspiracy Between The Conservative Front Bench In This House And The Inbuilt Conservative Majority In The House Of Lords To Defeat Legislation That Has Passed Through The House Of Commons... I Warn The House Of Lords Of The Consequences... It Is Our Strong View That The House Of Lords Should Recall That Its Role Is Not That Of A Wrecking Chamber, But Of A Revising Chamber. In Recent Weeks, It Has Been Wrecking Legislation Passed By This House.

We Used To Think That You Could Spend Your Way Out Of A Recession And Increase Employment By Cutting Taxes And Boosting Government Spending. I Tell You In All Candour That That Option No Longer Exists, And In So Far As It Ever Did Exist, It Only Worked On Each Occasion Since The War By Injecting A Bigger Dose Of Inflation Into The Economy, Followed By A Higher Level Of Unemployment As The Next Step.
