Commons ChamberWill the Minister therefore reject the analysis of many organisations, including SIGOMA and the Library?
I do not think the Minister can question the integrity of my hon. Friend’s speeches, given the bicephalous nature of the debate. Back Benchers are saying that we all knew the cuts were going to happen, and that it was all on the cards, but at the same time the Minister is saying that there are no figures to draw upon.
I conclude by saying that I urge the Government to think again and not to introduce these savage, front-loaded, unfair cuts that will have a disproportionate impact on the areas and communities that need the most help.
