Quote by Vince Cable
I clearly believe a lot more than some of my coalition colleagues

I clearly believe a lot more than some of my coalition colleagues – Tories – in redistribution and using the tax system for that purpose. I also believe in the government having an active role in the economy, which is having an industrial strategy. Im not a believer in laissez-faire. – Vince Cable

The cafe in Portcullis House is really very high quality, and you also have a choice of eating in the more traditional restaurants, the Churchill Room or the Members Dining Room. I dont often eat in them, though, as Im usually on the run. – Vince Cable
