Proceeding contribution from Stephen Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 July 2010. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

The fact is that this year any expenditure decisions we may want to make in order to have a long-term impact will not save £13 billion this year or next year. That is what we are facing now: we are facing a real emergency now as to how to tackle the deficit, and the accumulating deficit each year, that the previous Government left to us.
