Opportunities for the Next Generation

I do not think that debt is a good thing. As has been mentioned, we are spending £120 million a day paying off our debts, which means that the money cannot be used for all the things that hon. Members would like to spend it on. It is well known that Labour's plans for the economy would have cut £7 for every £8 that the Government are cutting.
