Proceeding contribution from Lord Barnett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 17 July 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Debate on select committee report on Finance (No 2) Bill.


Finance (No. 2) Bill

My Lords, unfortunately the noble Lord was not in his place when I answered his point about the 500 pages. I pointed out that under all Governments and all Oppositions, Finance Bills are never properly debated; only the sexy party-political bits. That is why they are constantly getting bigger.
