My question relates to projected increases in public expenditure over the next three years.

I raise it in light of the spring economic statement, in which, to much fanfare, the Government announced that the bad times were over and that the good times were dawning. In the course of making that series of announcements, the Government identified a 50:50 split in respect of taxation and expenditure, but provided precious little detail on the level of expenditure on investment in public services.
