all sterile to you this is really going to hurt it's a bit like going to a dentist and the dentist saying to you this is going to be very very painful surgery on really really sorry but you're going to have to suffer and then delivering a pinprick this is if they're sending out mood music to the money markets is if they're trying to pretend they're being tough but the actual figures suggest nothing of the sort they're cutting spending in real terms by a little less than one p. a year so over here the pound a year so over the course of five years in very broad terms but are going to come up from spending a pound to cut cut it to spending ninety seven pence that is a cut and it will be probably the first government in my lifetime that is actually cut government spending in real terms but it's not a very substantial cut or top so the kind of austerity that you're talking about what would that look like to the ordinary man on the street. well i resent the term austerity there's a danger that the political debate is now configured in do you want to scare ity or
4:31 pm
do you want growth i want growth but i think that living within your means at government level is necessary to achieve that i'd like to see the signs of the u.k. start to roll back from what it's got to at the moment about forty five forty six percent of them actually in government expenditure to have a medium term plan to get back down to about thirty percent with a couple of expenditure so that's to say that roughly speaking for every three pounds at the moment being spent we wouldn't be spending in future you don't need to do that overnight you don't need to do that for thursday week but i think you need to have a credible plan in place to do that and all of the evidence yes but if you can get the size of the state down to around about twenty five or thirty percent of g.d.p. then the economy takes off so i don't buy this prosperity versus growth i don't buy the argument that we should only make the cuts when the economy starts growing i think we need to actually get the government out of the way to allow the economy to
4:32 pm
grow it would be as if you were in a hot air balloon and so you were only going to throw the whites out when the balloon takes off now you actually need to throw the wipes out in all or to let the balloon take off so i would go through line by line on everything we're spending money on at the moment and ask is it really necessary can it be done in the private sector can it be cut altogether can it be extinguished and the most successful retrenchment programs are beginning to roll back the studies that were conducted in canada or new zealand took that approach despite the u.k. government saying that they have conducted a comprehensive spending review really it's nothing of the sort they ring fenced various areas they're spending more on other areas and they're salami slicing a few areas put that into perspective for me what does it mean in terms of schools and hospitals which is what we think about when we talk about government spending. yeah the national health service which the government in my view it's in its total economic unwisdom for political reasons ringfence the national health service so we
4:33 pm
have probably the most socialist health care system in the entirety of europe not only privatized plan overnight and there's a pilot in britain as if there's only a point to retreat you want to have a national health service all the american system i don't much like the american system but i think that we have to be aware that cradle to grave health care for virtually any illness or plight that you any individual suffers from is simply not affordable or if we want to afford it then we're going to have to see our normal surprises in tax chancellor george osborne talking about cutting ten billion pounds from the welfare state all those kinds of measures hitting the poorest and media in our society. i'm not persuaded by that argument at all really what with saying with regard to the british welfare state since it was set up now looking back near the best part of sixty years nearly since the beveridge report which was established
4:34 pm
the founding principles is that we need a welfare safety net that is provides what beverage himself described as subsistence levels of support and only ideally for a temporary period of time what we've actually seen the profitable for us but is it really possible to imagine a person british society doesn't qualify for some sort of welfare as he might have housing benefit even if you were in work if you've got any kates you qualify for child benefit you may qualify for tax credits if you are a low earner it goes on and on and on we have universal benefits for the elderly if you're a multi-millionaire in your seventy's you get a free bus pass you get a winter fuel allowance one affluent individual said to me he'd like to use winter fuel allowance to help him to heat is indoor swimming pool this is not a welfare state it was a neutral originally imagine this is a welfare state that has got totally out of control because nearly all human activity so i think you could slice it back and focus it on those who really need
4:35 pm
it let's say for the sake of argument the bottom ten percent of the population they're all they're about rather than spreading this huge bill over virtually every part you recently led a panel discussion entitled fifteen ideas to transform britain about encouraging enterprise in this country and the ideas put forward by a number of m.p.'s in three of them were put forward by you i'm just going to go through them with you and if you could tell me what you mean by each of them the first is super charging startups. what what we mean by super charging startups is to make it easy for somebody who's got a business idea to begin to get off the grant in the ladder of building a business the first few rungs of the hardest the biggest. decision is how do i take on my first employee for example what sort of barriers to i face you're immediately hit by all sort of complex tax rules i want to make it easy for somebody who has a great idea almost you know at three o'clock in the morning to begin to get their
4:36 pm
business off the ground your second i dare is rewarding our educators and it's agreed really almost universally that our teachers aren't paid enough is that what you mean i'm not sure that it's true that teachers aren't paid enough by the way but i don't really know what to choose should be paid so that there are two changes that i'd like to make the first is to allow profit into the system if you can run a fantastic school which you know teaches kids you know mathematics english and the rest i have no problem with you making a profit for what is a fantastically useful exercise for the next generation but i'd also like to make sure the teachers are employed and remunerated in the way that people are in the private sector so rather than teachers being on. switches set in some sort of smoke filled room in war torn between politicians bureaucrats and trade union like individual schools to sign mr bloggs is a great history teacher we can't afford to lose him we've got to give him a
4:37 pm
a playwright and schools will have to make decisions of course you know are you going to spend the money on perhaps building a better chemistry lab and better sports facilities or are you going to spend the money on trying to bring in better quality teachers those sort of decisions which every day you're faced in private sector companies should be faced by those one in our schools as well we've talked a bit about the welfare state your third eye dare is winding down out of work benefits seemingly just when people need them the most. i think that it's true that people who need them the most at the moment are not advocating anything here which is even as extreme as what bill clinton brought in in the united states of america and it's two things firstly i'd like to see benefits begin to be time limited the assumption the assumption this is going to apply in all cases but the assumption is you need a short amount of help you've suddenly lost your job you need a little bit of help to tide you through perhaps for six months or so maybe for a year before you find another job that's the concept of money and you need to work
4:38 pm
hard in those few months to find another job but i'd also like to like to bring into the fact that we would be eligible for community work because what's happening at the moment with the government is that they are royally addressing a ludicrous problem in our welfare system which is that some people are actually better off claiming welfare benefits than they are taking on a job they take on a job that's not particularly well paid suddenly all these benefits get guillotines and before you know it you're working forty hours a week and you actually have less money in your pocket than you would do if you filled in some government forms that night but i think there needs to be another problem that needs to be tackled and that if you like the leisure if your choice is to work for forty hours a week for let's say twelve thousand pounds a year or to stay on welfare doing no work for eleven thousand pounds a year although it would be true in that circumstance that you would be better off in work you might not want to do forty hours a week work so it's in my view that if the community tax payers are coming to you all right and providing you with the money that you need to three square meals that
4:39 pm
i pay your heating bills have a roof over your head then it's reasonable to expect you to put in some work to the community clearing up litter in the park scraping graffiti off walls and the like and where this is being trialled in wisconsin in the united states of america it had a fantastic dynamic effect what happened was we didn't suddenly have huge squadrons of on employed people scraping away what actually happened was these unemployed people but suddenly inspired to. and find real jobs in the private sector and lo and behold those vacancies usually at the lower end of the incomes scuttle looking for people to work in fish and chip shops or bars or or restaurants those suddenly got filled so i think it's a win win over actually encourage a work ethic and encourage a mentality that would get people who have been out of work into the labor market what about the effect of the economic situation in the european union on the u.k. where hearing that zero growth is forecast this year in the e.u.
4:40 pm
what impact will that have on u.k. households who are there's no doubt at all however one wants to blame or praise the united kingdom government they're not monsters or are interested in tight and boy here actually for the next as a radical change of course in the european union countries and the western economy as a whole and not percent growth is going to have to be something that we've got used to so let's hope that's the worst of it and we don't actually say a full scale eurozone crisis because when william hague said that joining the euro might be a bit like entering a boning building with no exits well perhaps he was right but nevertheless the united kingdom is sitting in the porch and if that voting building goes up we will definitely feel a substantial and highly negative side effect of that little bit thank you very much thank you.
