Business question from Lord Young of Cookham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 March 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

The Leader of the House has announced that there will be four days' debate on the Budget after the Budget statement, which I welcome. However last autumn, after the comprehensive spending review and the pre-Budget report, which are equally important statements of Government policy, we had no debate at all. Is there not a case for a better balance of financial debates throughout the year?
