Proceeding contribution from Baroness Bray of Coln (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 30 November 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on Living Standards.


Living Standards

As I have found before, the right hon. Gentleman does not like history. The fact is that a note was left saying, ““There's no money left,”” and that had consequences. This country is living and breathing the consequences of how Labour managed the budget. We are in deficit, which is why we talk about it so often, and it is about time the Labour party recognised the consequences of the way in which it managed this country's finances.
