Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 March 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.

Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

Will we not also be able to tell the nation, quite clearly, that the Chancellor was explicit about the £57 billion reduction in the economy that would take place in 2013, one third or so through tax rises and two thirds—about £40 billion—through cuts? Will we not be able to confirm to the same public sector workers that the Labour party is intent on making the same cuts? The hon. Gentleman's arguments simply do not add up.
