Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Danny Alexander and Graham Allen

Tuesday 14th May 2013 Commons Chamber

[Danny Alexander]

The Government have rightly put in place protections for the budget for the national health service and for schools. We have also made a strong commitment to reaching the 0.7% objective on international aid, which I think most Members would agree is absolutely the right thing to do. Of course we will consider submissions from all Departments throughout the spending round process, but in the end every Department will have to bear its fair share of the reductions.

[Mr Graham Allen (Nottingham North) (Lab)]

Q15. What steps his Department has taken to promote the growth of a municipal bond market in the UK.
