Let me put my question another way. The figure that you have quoted, which I presume you understand as you have quoted it on more than one occasion; is that the debt (as you call it) that Labour itself ran up in 13 years of government or was any of it (even a tiny little bit) left to them by the...
I think you mean the temporary LibDem/Tory coalition dont you?
