Proceeding contribution from Lord Myners (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Queen's Speech.
Queen's Speech
I am grateful to the Minister for allowing me to ask just one small question. It is clear that the size of the deficit will be a function of the expected rate of economic recovery and growth; the two interplay. I believe that the Minister said that the OBR would make independent forecasts. Will he confirm that it will make economic forecasts as opposed to auditing or commenting on Treasury forecasts?
