Proceeding contribution from Michael Moore (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 27 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Scotland Bill.


Scotland Bill

I would hate to destroy the cross-party consensus by making any inappropriate reference to a £155,000 million deficit, so I will move swiftly on. On the technical point the hon. Gentleman raises, if he looks again at the Command Paper, he will see that there are provisions to ensure that no Government will be able simply to borrow in order to stack up a capital reserve to spend in the future or to land a subsequent Administration in debt.
