SIR – Apparently Chancellor George Osborne will be including measures for growth in his March budget.
This is too little too late as his existing policies have already caused the damage to growth and any new policy will take time to produce any results.
It begs the question – given that the Conservative Party had 13 years to prepare for office (and the Liberal Democrats had their whole lifetime) – is it not reasonable to expect them to have had a plan for growth ready in May 2010 rather than a plan to kill growth and jobs?
So far, right wing fiscal retrenchment has been a disaster which Mr Osborne blames on the snow. Our country deserves an economic vision not excuses.
