Proceeding contribution from Richard Bacon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 12 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.


Public Accounts

I think that the Minister was getting a bit excited at the thought that suddenly there was nearly £70 billion that the Treasury did not know about that could be used for something. We all know the hon. Gentleman's aesthetic temperament when it comes to statistics. I have completely forgotten what I wanted to say in this intervention! It was something to do with consultants and, if I remember, I shall let him know.
