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, the Minister has moved away from the subject. Are the Government planning to abandon their fiscal rules or not? Saying that they might or that they might not adds to uncertainty in the City and the economy, which is very bad for Britain. Surely, the Government should be in a position to tell us whether or not they are going to abandon their fiscal rules.
