Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 8 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Economic Affairs and Work and Pensions.
Economic Affairs and Work and Pensions
When comparing the judgments that we make about what is necessary fiscally, I do not think that bringing on to the main balance sheet PFI, Network Rail and everything else, particularly helps. However, if that is the course of action that he has managed to persuade the Chancellor to take, we will look with great interest at the Budget in a couple of weeks. I just do not think that it is a particularly accurate or informative way of looking at the accounts. I have said that before to the hon. Gentleman.
