Proceeding contribution from Matt Hancock (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.
The Economy
I am very grateful. The right hon. Gentleman keeps making his argument about borrowing, but is it not completely undone by the fact that according to the OBR forecasts, borrowing has fallen and is set to fall over the next five years, and then debt will fall once it is under control? Can he answer the question that neither the shadow Chief Secretary nor other shadow Treasury Ministers can answer? How can spending more money possibly lead to lower borrowing?
