Proceeding contribution from Graham Stuart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 27 March 2007. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.


Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

I recognise that my speech is dirge-like in flavour. In 2006, the EAC again stated:"““We are very disappointed by this Pre-Budget Report.””" I would love to say that the Labour Members on the Committee had some positive news, but I am afraid that they did not. They said:"““The picture is of an ongoing retreat from the Treasury’s announcement in 1997 of a policy to shift the burden””." According to the Labour-dominated EAC, the Chancellor’s history on the environment is one of failure after failure. He has not delivered as he originally promised when he said that it would be the most important measure for the Government.
