The Prime Minister
I was quoting the Office for Budget Responsibility, but the fact is that 390,000 more people are in private sector jobs than there were a year ago. I would have thought with the economy growing, with exports up, with manufacturing up and with more people in work, the right hon. Gentleman should be welcoming that, instead of joining the doom-mongers on his Front Bench, who can only talk the economy down.
Mr Lee Scott (Ilford North) (Con)
Will the Prime Minister join me in calling for an independent international review following the UN report into the crimes committed by the Sri Lankan Government against the Tamil people?
The Prime Minister
My hon. Friend raises an important point. There are still unanswered questions from that period, and I will look closely at what he says and write to him.
