Proceeding contribution from John Hemming (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill.
Savings Accounts and Health in Pregnancy Grant Bill
That might be slightly out of order, but I should probably answer the question. There has been a debate about the £6 billion of cuts in this financial year. At about 4% of the overall deficit, £6 billion is not a large sum, but given what happened with the initial sovereign debt crises during the general election—things that we have to be aware of, such as what was going on in Greece—we need to give the message that we are serious about dealing with the deficit. That is a socially progressive policy.
