Catherine west i associate myself with those kind remarks on behalf of my honorable friend the member for bolton , southeast. My constituents are reeling from the 9 contraction of the economy since march this year. Unemployment has skyrocketed and joblessness in haringey is the highest in the capital. Unfortunately, we are at the same time facing the idea that there could be a congestion tax forced on an extra 4 million londoners by this government.
