Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 November 2008. It occurred during Emergency debate on Pre-Budget Report.


Pre-Budget Report

Before I give way, let me plant something in the shadow Chancellor's mind, as he referred to the Institute for Fiscal Studies so often in his speech. When Robert Chote, the director of the IFS, briefed people yesterday, he concluded his remarks by saying:"““on balance the risk of acting may be less than the risk of refusing to””." The hon. Gentleman should remember that.
