The Chancellor chose on 4 November to be up front with people about the challenges we face. At the Budget, she chose to cut the cost of living, cut NHS waiting lists and cut Government borrowing.
Dr Kieran Mullan (Bexhill and Battle) (Con)
I feel I should declare at the start of this question that I am one of the few people in the Chamber who apparently is not shocked at what has been going on this week. I am also not shocked that a Labour Cabinet member has said:
“The handling of this Budget has been a disaster from start to finish”.
Can the Chief Secretary tell us which Labour Cabinet member said that, and can they have a bigger role in the next Budget?
