Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [Lords]

I wonder whether my hon. Friend has noticed that the Institute for Fiscal Studies has said:"““If an OBR had been in existence over recent years it might have discouraged Gordon Brown from persevering with fiscal forecasts that most independent analysts thought over-optimistic from 2002 onwards””."
