Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 9 October 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Pre-Budget Report and Comprehensive Spending Review.


Pre-Budget Report and Comprehensive Spending Review

I agree with my hon. Friend that it is important to increase productivity in both the private and the public sector, and that the expenditure that I have been able to announce today is possible only because we can pay for it. We can do that because we have been careful to balance what we promise to spend with the money that we think that we can gather in—something that cannot be said of the Opposition.
