Hunt: Inflation data shows difficult decisions have paid off
Jeremy Hunt says the "difficult decisions" the Conservative Party has taken on the economy have "paid off", as inflation returns to the 2% target for the first time in almost three years.
The chancellor adds, "that would not have happened under Labour" and that it would be a "terrible shame to turn the clock back" if Labour was to win the upcoming general election.
