Proceeding contribution from Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.
Banking Bill
The shadow Chancellor keeps using the term ““independence of the Bank of England””, but surely it is within the gift of the Chancellor to set the inflation target, therefore putting in abeyance or adjusting the inflation target, which still leaves the Bank independent to make a decision on the facts as it sees them.
