Description

Mark Phillips reports on the latest Government economic figures which show inflation is down, unemployment is down and confidence is up.

Critics of Conservative economic policy say the latest bunch of indicators are propaganda whilst the Government is arguing they prove the Chancellor has the economy firmly under control. Includes interviews with Andrew Britton, Government economic advisor; Neil McKinnon(?), Citibank; Michael Portillo, Employment Secretary; Ann Clwyd, shadow employment spokesperson; Paul Convery, Employment Unit.
