Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2007. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
That has nothing to do with this argument. The economy was growing strongly and the Conservative Government would have started to repay public debt over the cycle, just as the Labour Government did. I seem to remember that the Labour Government inherited Conservative spending plans and stuck to them. While they did so, the fiscal position improved greatly and we started to repay debt, so in a way it was a Conservative success that so much debt was repaid.
