Proceeding contribution from Lord Peston (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 18 July 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill and Debate on select committee report on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

My Lords, do I understand correctly that the noble Baroness is not going to tell us what the Government ought to do and is waiting for pie in the sky in the future? She could have listened to the noble Lord, Lord Forsyth, who pretty well said what ought to be done. He is sitting not that far from the noble Baroness. Is she not going to tell us what should be the correct policy for the present day?
