Proceeding contribution from David Howarth (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 18 December 2008. It occurred during Debate on Christmas Adjournment.


Christmas Adjournment

May I draw my hon. Friend's attention to another, rather more immediate possibility? During the next three or four weeks, another bank might go down and the Government might want to intervene by making proposals to spend yet another £20 billion. Is it really compatible with our constitutional traditions that the Government could do that without the House's permission to spend that money?
