Proceeding contribution from Lord Henley (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Queen's Speech.
Queen's Speech
That is a question that the noble Lord will have to put to the previous Government, who saw it rise to that level. I shall of course write to him in due course and, as I always do, put a copy of the letter in the Library. The longer that we delay action on the deficit, the greater is the risk of that loss of market confidence. As I said, that would mean higher interest rates for all, stifling recovery and making challenges ahead even harder.
