Fiscal Responsibility Bill

I am about to finish. I am conscious that it is almost 5 pm and we are only on the second group of amendments relating to clause 1, and I have a great deal more to say on the next group. Given that the Government have conceded that there would be a £57 billion reduction, two thirds of it in cuts to public expenditure—some £40 billion—we need to know precisely what impact the duties that the Treasury will impose upon itself when it makes those cuts will have on services, on jobs, and crucially in the context of the Bill, on economic growth.
