Proceeding contribution from David Ruffley (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 28 October 2010. It occurred during Debate on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

I wonder whether that is right, because I have looked at the numbers and it would be appear that, over the period of the CSR, we will see the share of national income accounted for by public spending fall by about 6%, to 41%. That is exactly the same fall as was achieved during the first, and the start of the second, Thatcher Administrations.
