At a time when the Chancellor is faced with an acute financial Crisis in Which Severe Cuts are obviously necessary - I agree with my hon. Friend the Joint Under-Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs that nothing could be more damaging to our way of life than that we ourselves at this moment should no longer remain solvent and that that must be the overriding issue - I do not see how anybody can argue that the Information Services should be exempt from those cuts, for that would not make sense.
