THE Chief Secretary to the Treasury yesterday warned deep austerity cuts would continue past the next General Election, promising that the Coalition would be "unflinching" in its efforts to reduce the country's debt.
Danny Alexander told the Scottish Liberal Democrat conference in Dundee that after Wednesday's Budget he would conduct the Spending Review of Government funding for 2015-16.
Despite the General Election due that year, he said there would be no easing up on austerity, as the Government tried to deliver a stronger economy and a fairer society.
