Proceeding contribution from Lord Swire (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 6 May 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

My hon. Friend's charge sheet against the Government is long and justified, but does he agree that the Prime Minister has a duty and an obligation to restore the public's confidence in Parliament? He is a Prime Minister, formerly a Chancellor, who said that he would end boom and bust. Given what we see today, is it not time that he said, "I was wrong. I apologise"?
