Proceeding contribution from Lord Clarke of Nottingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.


The Economy

I am glad that the Chancellor watched me. He probably saw that I agreed with the Governor of the Bank of England, with most of the world's Finance Ministers and with the President of Chile that, in view of the appalling state of our public finances, this Government cannot afford any further fiscal stimulus. I suspect that the Chancellor also agrees with those distinguished gentlemen: will he confirm that?
