Pre-Budget Report

I want the Government's plans to succeed and the economy to grow, but will the Minister now deal with the question most appropriately put by my hon. Friend the Member for Kettering (Mr. Hollobone)? Would not the plans that the Minister has announced be derailed if our huge deficit caused a loss of confidence in the international monetary market and our credit rating was reduced, with all the horrors that would result from that? Will the Minister now deal with that question, because it is critical to what he is saying now?
