Brown accused of 'deception' over plans to delay spending review until after election

Daily Mail
"Mr Brown's government relaunch was overshadowed when Business Secretary Lord Mandelson revealed that the Government is shelving plans to set out Whitehall budgets beyond 2011.
....Lord Mandelson pulled rank over Chancellor Alistair Darling by insisting it was currently impossible to forecast how the economy would perform in the months and years ahead. His announcement prompted Cabinet disarray as the Treasury insisted Mr Darling had not made any decisions on the timing of the next spending review.But Mr Cameron said it was typical of a Government determined to 'cover up the truth about cuts'."
