Comprehensive Spending Review

I now intend to finish my speech with no further interruptions. I am often asked about a plan B. Plan A is to deal with the deficit so that we can support growth and invest in fairness. But we all know that the recovery will be choppy, so plan B is to deal with the deficit so that we can support growth and invest in fairness. But we know that the road will be difficult, so plan C is to deal with the deficit so that we can support growth and invest in fairness. Nothing is more important to our future prosperity. One party made this mess. Two parties are working together to clear it up. We will hold firm. Where we have faced tough choices we have asked, ““What are the fair choices? What are the choices that support growth? How can we achieve more with less?”” We have made the right choices for the right reasons. We have given our answers: now let us hear the Opposition's.
