Written Question
Long-term Economic Plan
Tuesday 24th June 2014

Asked by: Simon Burns (Conservative - Chelmsford)

Question to the HM Treasury:

Inflation is below target, the deficit has been reduced by over a third since 2009-10, and employment is at record levels. But the job is not yet done and the biggest risk now to the recovery would be abandoning the plan that is delivering a brighter economic future.
