Proceeding contribution from Lord Clarke of Nottingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 30 March 2010. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.


Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

First, let me point out that when the Secretary of State started attributing what he thought our policies meant for the education budget, he attributed to the shadow Department things that have not been attributed to it at all out of yesterday's announcement. Secondly, he missed the point my hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr. Hammond) made about the savings that would be made by the reduction in national insurance contributions—about 0.5 per cent. of the total pay bill. I cannot produce that figure off the cuff—my hon. Friend might be able to do so. The Secretary of State probably can, if he can sort it out from the other figures.
