Proceeding contribution from Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party) 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

The Chancellor mentions those areas heavily dependent on the public sector and the impact on different regions of the United Kingdom. I welcome that commitment, but in order for it to be real, as opposed to simply rhetoric—he talks about the Finance Ministers quadrilateral meetings discussing the spending review—will there be a robust resolution mechanism, so that not just the Treasury decides what happens with regard to the devolved Administrations, which, after all, have their own independent administrations, budgets and economic settlements?
