Proceeding contribution from Clive Betts (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 29 March 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.
Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation
The hon. Lady mentioned national insurance increases. As far as I understood it, the Conservatives' policy was to concentrate on, and say they were giving greater priority to, cutting the national debt. How does that square with the fact that since the Budget the shadow Chancellor has made one major commitment, which is that if the Conservatives get into power they will not go ahead with the national insurance increase, adding £7 billion to the cost of the debt?
