Questions Still to be Answered by Cameron - Cable
1.32.16pm GMT Mon 23rd Jan 2006
Responding to David Cameron's speech on Tory economic policy, Liberal Democrat Shadow Chancellor, Vince Cable MP said: "It was clearly ludicrous for the Conservatives to campaign as they did at the last election. Now even they have realised you cannot promise spending increases, tax cuts and economic stability all at the same time.
"Now they have accepted that there isn't any scope for across the board tax cuts, how would they make the tax system fairer? Who will pay more if the poorest are to pay less? If spending priorities will be protected, which areas of public spending will be cut?
"Only when they are able to answer these questions can we take David Cameron's words at face value."
