Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) 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, I thank my noble friend for giving way. Is it not obvious that when the Chancellor, who realised that he was going to be Prime Minister, knew the consequences, he did not expect them to happen until after he had called the general election in the autumn? Is that not the explanation for the puzzlement of my noble friend Lord Stewartby: this was not in the script; that is why this apparent contradiction arises?
