Liberal Democrats Brown is 'scraping the legislative barrel'

Wednesday, 14 May 2008 15:04
Nick Clegg, leader of the Liberal Democrats says about the pre-legislative draft of the Queen's Speech:

"We already knew that the Tories will say anything to get elected – but now it’s clear the prime minister will try anything to cling to power.

"These proposals are just not credible. It’s clear he’s really scraped the legislative barrel to try to save himself.

"He’s either addressing things the Government said weren’t a problem, like the economy, or trying to turn around problems the Government created, like over-centralisation."
