Proceeding contribution from Lord Lamont of Lerwick (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 10 February 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Fiscal Responsibility Bill.


Fiscal Responsibility Bill

I do not know whether the Minister noticed that the Chancellor of the Exchequer was quoted in the newspapers the day before yesterday as saying that Greece must reduce its deficit to 3 per cent within two to three years in accordance to what was agreed at ECOFIN. Why does what applies to Greece not apply to us?
