Proceeding contribution from Rehman Chishti (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 February 2011. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Social Security.


Social Security

Am I right in thinking that the shadow Minister was a Treasury Minister in the previous Government? If so, will he clarify the fact that when the coalition Government came into office last May, we inherited the worst financial deficit of the G20 and the worst structural deficit of the G7 countries, and that that is why we have to make some tough decisions?
