Proceeding contribution from Lord St John of Fawsley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 1 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on Comprehensive Spending Review.
Comprehensive Spending Review
My Lords, what the country now needs is not blame for the deficit—we all know who is responsible for that. What we want is hope for the future, which is the second of the theological virtues faith, hope and charity. Anybody listening to the Minister’s speech will note a very subtle but clear change in what he was saying. It was shot through with hope for the future, and also flexibility. Congratulations to him for doing so.
