Proceeding contribution from Danny Alexander (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 4) Bill.

Finance (No. 4) Bill

I am just responding to the previous intervention, if the hon. Lady will just hold her horses for a second. We confirmed in the Budget document the need for further fiscal consolidation in the years 2015-16 and 2016-17. We cannot simply promise to reverse measures, although that is the policy of the Labour party, which seems quite happy to return to its old habit of high spending and introducing measures that would return this country to the mess that Labour has already put us in.
