Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 March 2008. It occurred during Budget debate on AMENDMENT OF THE LAW.


AMENDMENT OF THE LAW

That allegation of £10 billion in cuts is every bit as fatuous as that made by the hon. Member for Dundee, East (Stewart Hosie). He said that if there were a change in the Barnett formula, there would be cuts in schools, hospitals and policemen. He was shouted down by Labour Members. It is fatuous nonsense to suggest that there would be any cuts whatever.
