Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

I do not think I am the only Member present who is a little confused by the hon. Gentleman's argument. Surely the point is that we need honesty in this election as never before. All the parties must say how they will reduce the deficit. The Liberal Democrats have clearly set out their plan for the next five years, and we must be honest about the fact that it will involve cuts. The question is where the cuts will be made, not if or when they will come.
