The Economy

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Timms (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.
Did the Chancellor use those weeks to rethink his plan, because the OBR was telling him that the assumptions on which his plan was based were mistaken? We were told that employment would rise every year, but that has not happened, and it is not going to happen. We were told that the budget would be balanced in this Parliament, and that is not going to happen either. Surely the whole plan should have been rethought?
