Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 April 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

It is very rare to intervene twice, but it is a new definition of an efficiency saving to include a pay freeze. That is not what has been said by the Conservative Party, which is magically going to find savings on work being done. Some of the savings could be made at the margin with purchasing, but overwhelmingly the savings will be made on wages and salaries through losing people-hours.
