Proceeding contribution from Lord Eatwell (Labour) 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]
Just to clarify, the point that I was trying to make was that the charter states that the OBR plays an important role in policy-making by providing forecasts and other estimates. In other words, those forecasts and estimates are part of the toolkit for making policy, but the OBR does not itself make policy decisions. That is what I meant to say.
