Judy Mallaber Does the right hon. Gentleman think that it is a tough decision to give a huge tax giveaway to multi-millionaires by cutting inheritance tax? Is that what he means by a tough decision? — from debate entitled “Debate on the Address — [1st Day]” The three speeches/headings immediately before - 1 earlier: David Cameron
We face a catastrophic situation at the moment where we are borrowing 14 per cent. of our GDP and our GDP is still shrinking. What is required is some political leadership-not setting some meaningless target as the Prime Minister is doing, but actually saying what the tough decisions are that we are going to take. The contrast between our side and his side is this: on the question of public sector pay, we have said what we would do, and on the question of pensions, we have said what we would do, but this Government, who have the biggest budget deficit in our peacetime history, have absolutely nothing to say, and he should be ashamed of that. - 2 earlier: Rob Marris
The right hon. Gentleman has said that he is against big government. Could he give an indication, in terms of Government spending as a proportion of gross domestic product, of what he thinks the right size of government should be in, say, five years' time? - 3 earlier: David Cameron
Perhaps the hon. Gentleman can tell me how this is going to work and whether he supports specific measures to cut the deficit.

- Have a quick scan of the speech under the video, then press “Play”.
- When you hear the start of that speech, press “Now!”.
- The timestamped video will then appear on TheyWorkForYou – thanks from
everyone who uses the site :)
Some videos will be miles out – if you can't
find the right point, don't worry, just try another speech!
- Sign in if you want to get on the Top Timestampers league table!
- If the video suddenly jumps a couple of hours, or otherwise appears broken, let us know.
- If the speech you're looking for is beyond the end of the video,
move on to the next video chunk.
- If you're right at the start of a day, it's quite possible the start of the video
will be the end of the previous programme on BBC Parliament, skip ahead some minutes
to check :)
- Hansard is not a verbatim transcript, so spoken words might
differ slightly from the printed version. And a small note – if
the speech you are looking out for is an oral question (questions asked in the
first hour or so of Monday–Thursdays in the Commons), then all the MP
will actually say is their question number, e.g. “Number Two”.
- The skip buttons move in 30 second increments (you can go
back before the start point), and you can access a slider by hovering
over the video.
