Oral Answers to Questions

Neil Carmichael Excerpts

Tuesday 16th June 2015 Commons Chamber

[Greg Hands]

I thank you, Mr Speaker. Welfare savings will be set out in due course. I remind the hon. Lady that we all need to confront the deficit and do something about it, and I hope that creates cross-party support.

[Neil Carmichael (Stroud) (Con)]

Does the Chief Secretary agree that the key part of reducing the deficit is the long-term economic plan, and that it rests on the provision of additional skills for our manufacturing sector, which in turn will drive up opportunities for young people?
