Proceeding contribution from Lord Hart of Tenby (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

The most frustrating thing of all is the absolute failure of the former Government to accept any responsibility for anything that went wrong. This morning, I felt that I had arrived on a different planet, as though the past 13 years had never happened. I cannot believe, and no one has yet persuaded me, that the previous Government were a shining example of competence and honesty—they simply were not. The result in May surely reflected that; people lost faith and trust in that Government in exactly the same way as they did in the Conservative Government in 1997.
