In an interesting investigation conducted by Computer Weekly... 

The Conservative party have removed a decade worth of speeches from their website and elsewhere on the internet in what has been described as a “cynical stunt” by Labour MP’s. If you head on over to view their speeches on their website, you’ll notice the oldest speech dates back to January 23rd of this year. The archives included pledges made by Prime Minister David Cameron while he was campaigning for the 2010 general election, “no frontline cuts”, “no top-down NHS reorganisations” and “no VAT increase” were all among the archives.

Archives dating back to the year 2000 and up until Cameron was elected in May 2010 have all been deleted. Any records of their speeches before May 2010 have been removed from Google's search engines. To make matters worse, all official records of their past speeches have been removed from the Internet Archive which is the public record of the net and the largest publicly available digital library.

Sheila Gilmore, who's a Labour MP said today "It will take more than David Cameron pressing delete to make people forget about his broken promises and failures to stand up for anyone beyond a privileged few".

What has Cameron got to hide by erasing these archives?

George Eaton from the New Statesman magazine has concluded some suggestions:

1. No cuts to front-line services

The weekend before the general election, David Cameron informed Andrew Marr that a Conservative government would not cut any front-line services:

What I can tell you is, any cabinet minister, if I win the election, who comes to me and says: "Here are my plans," and they involve front-line reductions, they'll be sent straight back to their department to go away and think again. After 13 years of Labour, there is a lot of wasteful spending, a lot of money that doesn't reach the front line.
Since then, 5,870 NHS nurses, 7,968 hospital beds, a third of ambulance stations, 5,362 firefighters and 6,800 frontline police officers have been cut.

2. Increase in VAT

During an interview with Jeremy Paxman on 23rd April 2010, Cameron said:

 We have absolutely no plans to raise VAT. Our first Budget is all about recognising we need to get spending under control rather than putting up tax.
Subsequently, VAT was raised from 17.5% to 20% in George Osborne's emergency Budget.

3. Child benefit

During a pre-election Cameron Direct event, Cameron stated:

I'm not going to flannel you, I'm going to give it to you straight. I like the child benefit, I wouldn't change child benefit, I wouldn't means-test it, I don't think that is a good idea.
The coalition government didn't remain committed to their pledge and went onto abolish the benefit for higher earners in the Spending Review and froze it for three years.

4. "No more drop top-down reorganisations"

Before the general election, the Conservatives repeatedly reiterated there would be no more "top-down reorganisations" of the NHS.

With the Conservatives there will be no more of the tiresome, meddlesome, top-down re-structures that have dominated the last decade of the NHS.
The coalition launched the biggest top-down reorganisation of the NHS in its history.

5. Education Maintenance Allowances (EMA)

At another Cameron Direct Event in January 2010, Cameron said:

We've looked at educational maintenance allowances and we haven't announced any plan to get rid of them. I said we don't have any plans to get rid of them . . . it's one of those things the Labour Party keep putting out that we are but we're not.
Nine months later, the coalition government announced the abolition of EMA, which used to pay up to £30 a week to 16 to 18 year olds living in households whose income is less than £30,800 a year.

6. Sure Start

Sure Start was the network of children's centres founded by the last Labour government. The day before the general election, Cameron pledged to protect Sure Start.

We back Sure Start. It's a disgrace that Gordon Brown has been trying to frighten people about this. He's the prime minister of this country but he's been scaring people about something that really matters.
Earlier in 2009 during a Conservative conference speech he added:

It’s also about emotional support, particularly in those fraught early years before children go to school. Labour understood this and we should acknowledge that. That’s why Sure Start will stay, and we’ll improve it.
Since they were elected, 566 of the centres have been closed, with over half of those still open no longer provided any onsite childcare.

7. Future Jobs Fund

In March 2010, Cameron praised the Future Jobs Fund describing it as a "good scheme" and said Conservatives had: 

No plans to change existing Future Jobs Fund commitments.
On 24th May 2010, the coalition announced it's abolition and replaced it with the ineffective Work Programme, later found to be "worse than doing nothing".

8. Green Taxes

Recently, Cameron has pledged to "roll-back" green taxes, Cameron took a different approach during his "hug a husky" campaign. On 29 October 2006, he told the BBC's Politics Show:

I think green taxes as a whole need to go up.
Also told Newsnight on 3 October:

We’ve said publicly, we’ve committed that we think green taxes should take a bigger share of overall taxes.
During a speech at the Tories' local election launch on 17 April 2008, he said:

Our message in this local election campaign is simple: vote blue, go green - and save money. It's been our campaign slogan for the last three elections. Why? Because it goes to the heart of what Conservatives believe. And because that's the kind of change people really want.
9. Bank Bonuses

From an interview with the Guardian published on 14th August 2009, George Osborne said:

It is totally unacceptable for bank bonuses to be paid on the back of taxpayer guarantees. It must stop. 
Osborne has failed to keep his pledge to ban bonuses at state-owned banks, he's also now taking legal action against the EU commission over it's plan to cap payments.

Sheila Gilmore further added:

The Tories are trying to hide from their own broken promises and failed policy. Rather than owning up to the mess they’re making of the economy and fixing it, they are pretending it hasn't happened.
To consolidate the Conservative's recent actions, a Conservative spokesman has said:

We're making sure our website keeps the Conservative Party at the forefront of political campaigning. These changes allow people to quickly and easily access the most important information we provide - how we are clearing up Labour's economic mess, taking the difficult decisions and standing up for hardworking people.
