Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Stamford (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.
Finance Bill
The Paymaster General will have to be more specific, and say which of the figures relating to the current budget or the total budget was quoted wrongly. She will be able to compare Hansard with the Red Book, and she will find that I quoted the Red Book precisely. What is more, she has not explained why the Government missed their forecast. We should be extremely interested to know the explanation. Some degree of modesty or humility on the Government’s part—some degree of explanation when things go wrong, rather than an attempt to brush under the carpet everything that is not entirely favourable—would be very welcome.
