The Economy

Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 22 June 2011. It occurred during Opposition day on The Economy.

We fought the general election in 2005 arguing that Labour was borrowing too much. We came off Labour's spending plans in 2008, in the approach to the last general election, and thank God we did, because it gave us the mandate to take the difficult decisions we have had to take.
