This is Leaders' Questions and, with respect, Deputy Burton is not the leader of the Labour Party. Her leader has asked a question. He indicated to the House that he has no idea what the growth scenarios will be. Deputy Burton was told, as a finance spokesperson, under a 1% scenario and under a 2% scenario for growth, what the rate of consolidation of the public finances would be to 2014.
