Kwasi Kwarteng
My hon. Friend is absolutely right. We have a dynamic population of highly skilled people. Our job in Government is to empower people to grow, to achieve and to thrive in the ways he suggests.
Dame Nia Griffith (Llanelli) (Lab)
During the last 12 years of Tory Government, public services have been cut to the bone, and they now face rampant inflation and an escalation of costs. Following his announcement, what reassurances can the Chancellor give that there will be no real-terms cuts to the budgets of our public services?
Kwasi Kwarteng
I am not going to make any statement about a budget this morning.
