Greg Clark
I was in Wolverhampton recently, meeting business and civic leaders from the black country. The proposals to increase skills to help the advanced manufacturing sector in the area to expand are well under way, and I look forward to responding to the bid very soon.
Andy Sawford (Corby) (Lab/Co-op)
In opposition, the Chancellor was fond of quoting the Institute for Fiscal Studies in support of his policies. Does he accept the finding by the IFS that because of all the changes that he has made following his autumn statement, the average one-earner family with children will be £534 worse off by 2015?
Mr Osborne
I am fond of quoting the IFS in government as well, and it says that Labour’s plans would add £200 billion to borrowing.
