The Economy

I want to apologise to the Chancellor for something that I said yesterday. On who said what in 2008, I said yesterday that the Chancellor had praised the previous Government's spending plans in 2008, despite now condemning what he refers as a decade of over-investment. I was wrong, and I want to apologise. In July 2008, it was in fact the Prime Minister who praised Labour's then spending plans. He said:"““we are sticking to Labour's spending totals.””" It was in 2007 that the Chancellor said that a Conservative Government would match our spending plans.
