City analysts said the speech had restored credibility in the Conservatives, who had been overshadowed by the Government's well-received bail-out plan. Erik Britton, director of Fathom Financial Consulting, said: "Labour's fiscal policy has been a failure. Cameron is right to highlight the failure to build up a surplus in a period of growth and the lack of regulation of the financial services and housing market."

Howard Wheeldon, city analyst with BGC Partners, said: "Cameron certainly came out fighting and whilst some of his specific ideas lack meat they lack no merit. This was an excellent display of political intention and leadership and it fully deserves to win the day.

"Cameron appears intent to leave certain changes that Brown imposed in 1997 alone but as yet he has said little as to how he would stimulate the economy."
