Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 29 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [HL].

Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [HL]

My Lords, if this document is really about fiscal policy and the fiscal mandate only, it is entirely logical that the approval of the charter and the other matters referred to in the other amendments in this group should be for the other place. If it were widened to include economic policy, which most of us here, with the exception of my noble friend, favour, then it would be entirely logical for it to be widened to include the House of Lords, but I believe that, as currently drafted, it is entirely logical to confine it to the other place.
