 Public services were again the clash issue |
Investment in schools and hospitals has almost halved under Labour as spending on red tape has "rocketed", Tory leader Michael Howard has claimed. At prime minister's questions, Mr Howard said Tony Blair had been "rumbled" by figures in last week's Pre-Budget report.
Mr Blair instead insisted the share of government spending going on civil service bureaucracy had fallen.
And investment in the NHS had risen from �30 to �80 for every family.
