The Chancellor insists that public spending cuts are good for national security
Mr Osborne will today insist: “There is no economic security, no national security, no opportunity, when you lose control of public finances. There is so much more to do. We are still spending too much. “No one knows what the next economic crisis to hit our world will be. But we must prepare for whatever the world throws at us.”
