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


Finance Bill

I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way. I do not think he has answered the noble Lord, Lord Skidelsky, or my noble friend Lord Myners. Would it be too much of a caricature to say that if we have to believe in voodoo economics, which is what the markets add up to, the logic of the noble Lord, Lord Skidelsky, and my noble friend Lord Myners is of no matter whatever? Do we just have to worship the voodoo economics of the markets?
