KEVIN MCKEEVER WELCOMES BUDGET – AND CHALLENGES LOCAL TORIES

Kevin McKeever, Labour Candidate for Harborough, today welcomed the Chancellor’s Budget Statement.

Kevin McKeever said:

“This Budget secures the recovery – rather than putting it at risk

“It builds a future based on growth and jobs – rather than leaving people to a decade of austerity.

“It sets out a clear plan to halve the deficit while protecting frontline services. The Conservatives refuse to match our pledge and continue to conceal their plan.

“We will make these choices in a fair way – standing up for the many, not the few

Kevin McKeever challenged local Conservatives to come clean about their party’s plans:

“ The Conservatives must say how they would meet the challenge that we have set in this Budget.

“How much would the Tories cut from spending in 2010/11? The Tories won’t say.

“How quickly would the Tories halve the deficit? The Tories won’t say.

“By how much would the Tories reduce the structural deficit? The Tories won’t say.

“We’ve set out our plan. It is time for the Tories to come clean.”
