Proceeding contribution from Alun Cairns (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 1 December 2010. It occurred during Grand Committee proceedings (HC) on Comprehensive Spending Review.


Comprehensive Spending Review

This comes back to the core of the argument about debt. Will the right hon. Gentleman confirm that as Labour went up in the polls leading to the last general election, spreads on bonds widened; and that as the Conservative party increased in the polls, spreads on bonds narrowed? That demonstrates the confidence of the markets in the incoming Conservative Government.
