Proceeding contribution from Lord Marlesford (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 29 June 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Building Britain's Future.

Building Britain's Future

My Lords, when I looked through this document, I was reminded of the words of the Duke of Wellington who—when approached by a stranger who said, "Mr Jones, I believe"—replied, "If you believe that, you will believe anything". I look at Annex C, which has got the key deliverables over the next year. There are 59 of them. I look at Annex D, which has the key deliverables over the following 10 years. There are only 42 of them. That is really past credibility, so would the noble Baroness, in order to help us, select just three of the key deliverables over the next year, which she regards as being of crucial importance?
