Proceeding contribution from Lord Skidelsky (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 26 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

I would not normally interrupt, but is the noble Lord seriously suggesting that markets are likely to price our government debt at 5 per cent or 10 per cent? If so, does he accept that view of the markets? Does he think that it is binding and that we just have to do whatever market sentiment tells us?
