Comprehensive Spending Review

There is no doubt that, had my party won the election, there would have to have been a review. There is no question about that. Of course, we would have faced the same situation. By the way, I think the hon. Gentleman’s moustache is great. Anyway, lots more people need to speak in this important debate, which the Secretary of State was right to call. I only wish she had called one on the other issue as well—we are having another on energy in the weeks ahead—because, as this debate is proving, MPs who represent Welsh constituents, from all parties, can express their views and their constituents’ views in a special way. I hope that when my colleagues speak they will say the same as me. Our chief interest is in creating the best quality of life for the people of Wales. The only way that we can do that is by ensuring that our services are kept up to scratch, but I am not convinced that will happen.
