Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 April 2009. It occurred during Budget debate on Amendment of the law.


Amendment of the law

I am coming to why if the Secretary of State could be a little patient. Perhaps he can explain why the Chancellor did not tell anyone that the Budget assumption is that the claimant count will go up to 2.4 million, which would put the labour force survey figure well above 3 million. Why was that not in the Chancellor's statement to the House yesterday?
