Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Spending.


Public Spending

The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right. If there had been a spending review, we would not be in this position now. As it is, out of the £34 billion of commitments that the previous Government made in that period, we have had to cancel £2 billion and put £9 billion into the spending review. The choice is obvious: profligacy on the one side, responsibility on the other.
