HULL families will "pay an even higher price" as a result of today's Government spending review, city MP Diana Johnson has warned.
Chancellor George Osborne will unveil £11.5bn of spending cuts this afternoon as he presents his Comprehensive Spending Review to the House of Commons.
He will tell MPs the review will move the UK from "rescue to recovery", although he has already indicated that the NHS and schools will be protected from further cuts.
But Hull North MP Ms Johnson said she expected it would "be the poorest people and working families in places like Hull who will be asked by the Lib Dems and Tories to pay an even higher price for the coalition's economic failure".
She said: "After inheriting an economy that was growing again in 2010, the fact the Chancellor now has to come to the House of Commons with another deeper round of cuts shows that George Osborne's 'Plan A' has not worked."
Yesterday, Mr Osborne told MPs "that Britain needs to live within its means" and that today he would "set out the next phase of the economic plan to move Britain from rescue to recovery".
But he described schools and the health service as "vital public services".
He said: "They are an investment in our economic future and they are all about doing what we need to do to win that economic race."
Brigg and Goole MP Andrew Percy defended further spending cuts as "sadly necessary as we continue to battle with the massive debts run up by the previous Labour Government, which we all know will take a generation to pay off".
He said: "The good news is the economy locally and nationally seems to have turned a corner, unemployment has continued to fall and, locally, government action on Humber Bridge tolls, the Regional Growth Fund and Enterprise Zones is starting to have positive impact."
Hull East MP Karl Turner, who is also a Labour whip, said the spending review offered the Government "another opportunity to kick-start the failing economy".
He said: "We have had lots of warm words from the Government with regards to projects such as the A63 upgrade. We now need budget commitments that will see spades in the ground and local jobs.
"A proper house-building programme also has to be part of any economic recovery plan and I would urge the Chancellor to support measures that will see more affordable homes built in Hull."
