Government publishes dossier acknowledging failure to keep promises made when the coalition was formed The Government has published an audit of its time in power which acknowledges its failure to keep promises made when the coalition was formed in 2010. The 119-page document does not divide the promises into those which have and haven't been missed, but it does note that a planned badger cull had been "postponed," a free vote on repealing the hunting ban has "not yet been taken forward" and, after pledging to cancel a third runway at Heathrow, the Government is now "looking at all the options." The Conservative-Lib Dem document, entitled Programme for Government Update, was produced as an annexe to the coalition's Mid-Term Review, unveiled with great fanfare on Monday. But it went unmentioned during a Downing Street press conference with Mr Cameron and Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg. Its existence only came to light when one of the Prime Minister's aides was spotted in Downing Street yesterday carrying a document which appeared to suggest its publication was delayed to avoid overshadowing the favourable media coverage they expected to receive from Monday's event. Labour reacted by releasing its own "audit of broken promises," listing 40 areas in which it said the coalition had failed to live up to its pledges. Top of the list of broken promises identified by Labour was the failure to balance the nation's books within five years - something which is not now expected to happen until 2018 at the earliest. But today's Government audit said that the independent Office for Budget Responsibility had confirmed the coalition was "on course to meet our fiscal mandate" of balancing the books, which was based on a rolling five-year period and not on the fixed target date of 2015. On energy and climate change, the coalition agreement included a commitment to seek to increase the target for energy from renewable sources, "subject to the advice of the Climate Change Committee." However following committee's advice, it said the target would not be raised and it would focus instead on achieving the current 2020 renewables target. The agreement promised to "cancel" the third runway at Heathrow and to refuse permission for further runways at Gatwick and Stansted. The document however said that while they had "not proceeded" with the runway at Heathrow a commission had been set up to look at "all the options" for future airport capacity. A commitment to replace air passenger duty with a per-flight duty, had been dropped due to concerns over "legality and feasibility."
