Proceeding contribution from Martin Horwood (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 23 April 2009. It occurred during Budget debate on Amendment of the law.


Amendment of the law

If by serious measures the hon. Lady means public spending cuts, can she be more forthcoming than her hon. Friend the Member for Tatton (Mr. Osborne) was on the radio this morning when he failed to identify a single substantial savings cut? If the hon. Lady is worried about the recovery not happening next year, can she explain whether those cuts would go ahead under a theoretical Conservative Government, if the recovery was not occurring by then?
