Public Spending

Aidan Burley Excerpts

Thursday 17th June 2010 Commons Chamber

[Mr Aidan Burley (Cannock Chase) (Con)]

Which individual project was my right hon. Friend most surprised to see had been given the go-ahead?

[Danny Alexander]

It would be invidious to choose between some of the projects on the list. I realise that each of the decisions has difficult consequences for the communities affected. My surprise is not at an individual project but at the general approach to spending that was taken in the run-up to the general election.
