Madam Deputy Speaker
For the final question—the one we have been waiting for—I call Chris Vince.
Chris Vince (Harlow) (Lab/Co-op)
I thank the Chancellor for her statement about two hours ago. Fortunately, my Shakespeare quote for the day is “brevity is the soul of wit”, so I will be very quick. We know that the national debt soared under the last Government, and that £1 in every £10 is spent on servicing that debt. What difference can we make to public services in Harlow if we can spend less on debt repayment and more on those services?
