[Mr Osborne said that he would reduce spending][3] on spin and management
|
||
consultants as well as on middle class benefits, such as tax credits for those
|
||
earning more than £50,000.
|
||
|
||
How would you reduce state spending? Which areas would you safeguard, and what
|
||
would you sacrifice? Is Mr Osborne's plan to reduce the deficit bold enough?
