To ask Her Majesty’s Government , further to the answer by Lord Sassoon on 6 July (Official Report, col. 94) saying that Sir Alan Budd had always planned to leave the Office for Budget Responsibility in the summer, why the interim nature of his role was not announced at the time of its announcement; and why it was not reflected in his letter of appointment dated 13 May.

The Chancellor’s letter to Sir Alan Budd, which was published on 8 June, was clear that Sir Alan Budd had been appointed chair of the Office for Budget Responsibility for an interim period. Clause 6.1 of Sir Alan Budd's 13 May letter of appointment, which is available on the Treasury's website, states ““you will begin the service on 13.5.2010 and will continue for a period of three months ...””.
