...yes, they have. They've also pledged that they won't cut education and overseas aid (bet the latter will go down well with Jaysay and Royboy!
).
Of course, whether you believe them or not is another matter, but I've read somewhere or other that they're planning to make 10% cuts on everything else. It's been estimated that the outcome will be a reduction of next year's spending bill from £717 million to £695 million - hardly enough to get us out of the mess we're in.
The fact is both parties are pulling the wool over our eyes about the gravity of the situation!
