Proceeding contribution from Bill Esterson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education Bill.
Education Bill
I want to bring the Secretary of State back to his comments on the economy. Up until 2008, the Conservatives were committed to sticking to Labour's spending plans. In 2007, the current Chancellor wrote an article in The Times entitled, ““Tories cutting services? That's a pack of lies””, in which he made it clear that they were committed to Labour's spending totals at the time. Why is the Education Secretary pushing through these cuts now? Why the change of heart? Did he not agree with those comments at the time?
