Families 'not getting value for money', says Howard

Hard working families feel "hard 圧力（をかける）d and hard done by" under the 労働 政府, Tory leader Michael Howard 警告するd today as he attacked Mr Blair's 法律を制定する programme.

In 審議 on the Queen's Speech, Mr Howard said: "People are 支払う／賃金ing a lot more in 税金 and they aren't getting value for money.

"Hard working families are 支払う／賃金ing the 同等（の） of £5,000 a year more in 税金. But what have they got to show for it - a million 患者s still on NHS waiting 名簿（に載せる）／表（にあげる）s, a million children playing truant from school and a million violent 罪，犯罪s.

"It's no wonder that hard working families feel hard 圧力（をかける）d and hard done by under this 政府.

"People are fed up with talk, they want 活動／戦闘."

The 全体にわたる reaction to the 法律を制定する programme in the run-up to a 総選挙 would be "港／避難所't we heard it all before?" he said.

The Tory leader said: "There is no better example of the 政府's 最大の関心事 with talk, spin and newspaper headlines."

When will you 配達する?

Mr Howard said there were 重要な omissions in the 法律を制定する programme.

There was a 法案 to give 影響 to the 憲法の 条約 on the EU, but no date 始める，決める for a 国民投票.

"Why are you waiting for the 残り／休憩（する） of Europe? Why are you content to follow? Why can't we have a date for the 国民投票?" he 需要・要求するd, after reminding the 総理大臣 of his 約束 to give leadership to the EU.

"While we welcome some of the individual 提案s in the Gracious Speech, the 全体にわたる reaction to it, even I 嫌疑者，容疑者／疑う on your own （法廷の）裁判s, will be: 港／避難所't we heard it all before.

"What the country wants to know is - when will you de 肝臓?

"If it took Winston Churchill five years to 勝利，勝つ the second world war, and if it took Clement Attlee six years to build the 福利事業 明言する／公表する - surely seven and a half years is more than enough for you to get a 支配する on the problems that 直面する Britain today.

"In a year or so we're going to have an 選挙 when people will say: we've paid a lot of 税金s but what's really been 達成するd with all that money?"

Blair: Happy with 記録，記録的な／記録する

In 返答, The 総理大臣 said he was more than happy to compare the 記録，記録的な／記録する of his 政府 on 配達するing 改良s with that of the previous Tory 行政.

"Bank of England independence, 慎重な 経済的な 管理／経営 and the New 取引，協定 have 配達するd the lowest 利益／興味 率s, lowest インフレーション, lowest 失業 for １０年間s.

"Living 基準s of every section of the 全住民 are up; that's 配達／演説／出産 after seven and a half years."

He said 連続する 後退，不況s had been 取って代わるd by 支えるd 経済成長 and two million 職業s had been 伸び（る）d compared to one million lost when Mr Howard was in 力／強力にする.
