Proceeding contribution from Andrew Love (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 May 2005. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Adjournment (Whitsun).


Adjournment (Whitsun)

The reputation of my right hon. Friend the Chancellor is built on his fiscal rules. The sustainable investment rule, which deals with borrowing for investment rather than for current expenditure, is universally recognised to be very tight. Would not an increase in borrowing risk breaking that rule, and pose a challenge to the Chancellor’s reputation?
