Oral Answers to Questions

Julian Brazier Excerpts

Tuesday 25th June 2013 Commons Chamber

[Greg Clark]

I have followed the hon. Gentleman’s interventions over time and he should be familiar, as we all are, with the study from the Institute for Fiscal Studies that made it very clear that if the policies of his party had continued, the debt would be £200 billion higher.

[Mr Julian Brazier (Canterbury) (Con)]

Does my right hon. Friend agree that if we look across the channel to countries such as Italy, we see what can easily happen if a Government lose control of public spending?

[Hon. Members]

That is not across the channel.
