Mr Osborne
I am happy to look at the funding for the metal theft initiative, but I know that the Government have introduced regulation to clamp down on this crime, which can of course endanger people’s lives.
Nadhim Zahawi (Stratford-on-Avon) (Con)
In a debate in this Chamber, the right hon. Member for South Shields (David Miliband) accepted this Government’s spending envelope, but was quickly shot down by the shadow Chancellor. Is not the real problem here the fact that to be credible on the economy, the Labour party needs to come up with a policy that stands up?
Mr Osborne
My hon. Friend has described the comments of the right hon. Member for South Shields as a speech. I think we could describe them as an audition.
