Why did the Secretary of State not put in his manifesto that he was planning to axe free swimming for under-16s and pensioners?
Mr Jeremy Hunt
We did not put that in our manifesto, but why did the hon. Gentleman’s party not put in its manifesto that it had £50 billion of uncosted spending commitments? If his party wants schemes such as free swimming, which in principle we like, the best thing that it could do is have a sustainable financial basis for this country.
