Proceeding contribution from Matt Hancock (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 14 February 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [Lords].
Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [Lords]
Does my hon. Friend know that in 1995 the right hon. Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath (Mr Brown) called for a panel of independent forecasters to express their views on public finances? Does he agree that it is a great shame for the nation that the right hon. Gentleman did not act on that when in government, because it might have meant that there was restraint and, in turn, that he did not leave this country in the terrible mess that he did?
