After saying that the deficit has going down by 30% Damian Green gives way to Chris Mullen MP who has official statistics saying that the public sector net debt (The Deficit) was £802Billion in the 2nd quarter of 2010 and is now £1039Billion and has in fact risen by 30%.
Welfare and unemployment issues are addressed. Finishing with a statement that the Labour government have always left unemployment figures higher then when they came into power.
