The Opposition having tabled their motion in this way, the right hon. Member for Deptford has no right to say that he will not answer the question whether the Opposition would propose to cut public expenditure at the present time. If we may assume that they would expect to make some public cuts in expenditure, the other question on which the House should be given an answer is as follows: would the cuts which the Opposition might make in public expenditure fall on the services which we are discussing tonight? May we take it that, as a result of this motion critical of the Government's cuts in health and welfare expenditure, the right hon. Gentleman is fully committed, as soon as the Labour Party comes to power, to restoring all the cuts that we have detailed this evening?
