Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.
The Economy
The German Government went into this downturn with a surplus and the scandal is that the Government of whom the right hon. Gentleman was a member, and those at the Cabinet table around which he sat, agreed to spending plans that were completely unaffordable and which left us with the biggest budget deficit of any western economy going into this downturn. He did not fix the roof when the sun was shining and we are all having to pay the price now.
