Part of 1. 1. Questions to the First Minister – in the Senedd at 1:57 pm on 2 May 2017.
First Minister, let’s please get a little bit of sanity back into this question. Borrowing is, of course, an important tool in any Government’s toolbox. It’s an important tool for the Welsh Government; it’s been an important tool for the UK Government. But the levels of borrowing being proposed by the UK Labour Party are truly eye watering. In your heart of hearts, you know that. Will you agree with me that the last thing that this country needs, the last thing that the UK needs, and the last thing that Wales needs, is for Jeremy Corbyn’s Labour party to ratchet up the debt once again and for us to end up in the same sort of position that we’ve been in every time that the Labour Party has been in power in the UK Government before?
