Proceeding contribution from Geoffrey Robinson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 6 December 2011. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.


The Economy

It is not a question of not accepting the integrity of the Office for Budget Responsibility. The question is the reliability of the figures stemming from the credibility of the organisation. Why does it get everything so wrong all the time? Is it not up to the job? Does it have a lack of expertise, or is it just that it is being asked to fix figures that have no meaning in the real world?
