Cutting Budget Deficits Can Never

Our First Benchmark Is To Cut The Deficit More Quickly To Safeguard Britain’s Credit Rating. I Know That We Are Taking A Political Gamble To Set This Up As A Measure Of Success. Protecting The Credit Rating Will Not Be Easy The Pace Of Fiscal Consolidation Will Be Co-ordinated With Monetary Policy. And We Will Protect Britain's Credit Rating And International Reputation.

If We Don't Get A Grip On Government Spending, There Will Be No Growth.

Britain Is Not Part Of The Single Currency. That Is A Decision We Have Taken, A Voluntary Decision Of This Country, But As A Result Are Part Of A European Union 19 Of Whose Members Are Rapidly Integrating, Creating Political, Fiscal, Monetary, Economic Union To Make Their Currency Work. And That Is Increasingly Rubbing Up Against The Operation.

If You Want To Change The Way Your Banking System Is Regulated, If You Want To Learn The Mistakes Of What's Gone Wrong, Then You Have To Change Your Government.

For Example At The Moment There Is A Compulsory Requirement To Buy An Annuity. That Is Something We Would Get Rid Of. It Puts Some People Off Saving.
