Proceeding contribution from Andrew Pelling (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 20 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Fiscal Responsibility Bill.
Fiscal Responsibility Bill
The hon. Gentleman's comments are useful and instructive. I imagine that at the time the Labour Government wanted to establish credibility. However, in some ways is not such legislation damaging politicians' credibility, because the message being sent is that our promises are not of real value unless they are legislated for?
