Contribution

Does my noble friend agree that we are all getting a bit fed up with the groans from those on the other side when we take the time to remind them of the appalling debt we inherited? It is a truth that has been independently verified that we inherited this £22 billion. They are unwilling to admit the truth. Does she also agree with the noble Baroness, Lady Taylor of Stevenage, that we are putting forward proposals that they, understandably, constantly attack, but that they will not put up alternative proposals for dealing with the debt we have inherited?
