NAO reports highlight the extent of Tory mismanagement over 14 years, jeopardizing capital projects such as Bingley pool in Shipley.
I am concerned about recent National Audit Office reports revealing the Tories' economic mismanagement over 14 years, which has put projects like Bingley pool at risk. As a member of the Public Accounts Committee, I will ensure taxpayers' money delivers value. Can you assure me and my constituents that tomorrow's Budget will be based on an honest assessment of public finances to allow this Government to deliver on its promises?
The Budget tomorrow will be based on an honest assessment of the economic situation left by the Conservative party, and it includes plans for addressing this legacy and fulfilling the commitments made.

Given everyone has eaten today, backing Britain's farmers seems wise. With a £2.4 billion budget for British farming that was underspent by the previous government, can the Chief Secretary guarantee this budget will be protected so our farmers can care for nature and feed us?
