Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to reduce the UK’s national debt.
The government has already reduced the annual deficit by almost two-thirds from 10.1% of GDP in 2009-10 to 4% of GDP in 2015-16. However, at 84% of GDP last year, Public Sector Net Debt remains too high. The government will set out its plan to ensure long-term fiscal sustainability at Autumn Statement on 23rd November.
