Financial strategy needed
Hope Street Hebden Bridge
The Institute for Fiscal Studies (IFS) has produced a report today saying there is still massive uncertainty over the outlook for the British economy.
It is critical that the Govern-ment has a plan to tackle the public finances, one that is flexible enough to adapt to the changing economic situation.
The IFS rightly points out that cutting spending further this year would be extremely dangerous given the weakness of the economy.
Not surprisingly, the Conserva-tives are now desperately trying to play down their desire to do just that.
When, and by how much, public spending needs to be cut must be based on sound economic indicators, not Tory political dogma.
