Proceeding contribution from Justine Greening (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Friday, 23 March 2012. It occurred during Budget debate on Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation.


Budget Resolutions and Economic Situation

The OBR is very clear that the £100 million represents a reasonable and central estimate. In fact, I would suggest that the previous Government's assessment of elasticity in one of their final Budgets was designed entirely to manufacture tax receipts that were never going to materialise. If it was such a good idea, why did it take them 13 years to think of it?
