Proceeding contribution from David Gauke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fiscal Responsibility Bill.

Fiscal Responsibility Bill

Will the Minister explain what would happen if she were in Government in 2012 or 2013 and there were a recession? Would the target of reducing borrowing year in year out, as set out in the Bill, still apply? Is that the Government's position?
