Emergency budget 50 days within poll win - Cameron

By Avril Ormsby

LONDON (Reuters) - The Conservative Party would carry out an emergency budget to tackle the country's record deficit within 50 days if it won the parliamentary election, leader David Cameron said on Sunday.

The centre-right Conservatives are widely expected to win the election, due by June, and have already said they want to cut spending by 23 billion pounds by 2015.

Cameron also said the Conservatives would set out plans to get the economy going again through business investment.

"What I can say today is that we would consider within 50 days of taking office, if we won the election, we would have an emergency budget," he told the BBC's Andrew Marr Show.

"An emergency budget that, yes, would be about getting the deficit under control and having a credible plan...but it should also be a budget that goes for growth, that gets the economy moving again."

Cameron said it would be not so much a "big bang as a big plan."

"What you need is a plan to get the deficit down, you have got to demonstrate to people that you are serious by taking some steps in your first budget and you set out those steps," he added.

Failure to cut the deficit could see interest rates rising and the economy tipping back into recession, he said.
