Proceeding contribution from Alex Salmond (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

Yes, but it is not a statutory obligation, and if we are proposing a statutory new clause to do something we cannot leave it to the discretion of the Chancellor whether he does or does not publish a forecast. Does the hon. Gentleman now understand why the requirement has to be in the new clause?
