Your questions for George Osborne

It’s been a couple of weeks since we asked CoffeeHousers to put forward their questions for George Osborne.  We’ve since picked out the best ten, which have now been put to the shadow chancellor.  He’ll get back to us over the next couple of days.

The CoffeeHousers whose questions were chosen can e-mail me on phoskin @ spectator.co.uk to claim their t-shirt and 180th Anniversary issue of the magazine.

Anyway, here are the questions:

Tiberius

Patrick, London

 
“How profound are your ambitions to cut state spending really? Would you agree that 30% of GDP is quite enough thank you very much?”

Nicholas

 
“I thought the Brown Annual Report was brilliant but it has been little reported.
