Clegg: We’ll lay the foundations of a better economy
Deputy prime minister Nick Clegg gives his take on the state of the economy in a speech in Rotherham, South Yorkshire:
“If the coalition government simply pays off the deficit but leaves the underlying economy unchanged, we will have failed.
“We are not in government simply to clean up Labour’s mess. We are in government to lay the foundations of a better, stronger economy.
“We are determined to foster a new model of economic growth, and a new economy – one built on enterprise and investment, not unsustainable debt.
“We seek nothing less than a new model of sustainable growth.”
