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

Finance Bill

I thank the noble Lord, although that was a different point from the one that he made previously; the point that he made in his speech was whether members of the OBR would have inside knowledge of the forecasts. The whole point about the OBR is that it will publish its forecasts transparently. I am not sure what the inside information is that the noble Lord is so concerned about.
