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

Having looked at the state of the books and seen the plans that the previous Government set out—at least in headline terms—to cut £50 billion from public spending over the course of this Parliament, I do not see how any Minister could responsibly have made those spending commitments and expected them all to be met after the election.
