Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 7 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

The hon. Gentleman is right about timing and the balance of the way in which we tackle the deficit, but on the last day of the Budget debate, his colleague, the hon. Member for Twickenham (Dr. Cable), made the point that the Liberal Democrats were on the same page as Labour. The UK will have no fiscal stimulus this year. Real-terms cuts are beginning this year, and £57 billion will come out of the economy in the single year of 2013-14. Does the hon. Gentleman think that that balance is right?
