Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 19 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill and Debate on select committee report on Finance Bill.

Finance Bill

My Lords, before the noble Lord sits down, I have listened carefully to his 28-minute speech. In my opening speech, which seems a long time ago, I asked about an issue raised in Starred Questions on 28 June. I asked specifically about the economic cycle of the golden rule and whether the Government had plans to change the definition or measurement of it. The noble Lord, Lord McKenzie of Luton, said:"““My Lords, I confirm that the Government have no such plans””—[Official Report, 28/6/05; col. 129.]" I put it to the Minister that that misled the House at that stage. I did not hear him explain how that arose.
