Proceeding contribution from Lord Hammond of Runnymede (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on Pre-Budget Report.
Pre-Budget Report
I know what the Chief Secretary wants to say now; he wants to talk about the Bank of England. The forecast appears optimistic, however. We are not an economic forecasting organisation, but we do look at the consensus of forecasts made by independent commentators, and I think it is fair to say that the Government's forecasts are at the top of the optimistic end of the spectrum.
