Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 28 April 2016. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.
The Economy
My noble friend has not answered my question. The Treasury document assumes that there will be 3 million people here as a result of our inability to control immigration. That has huge implications for spending. The document made no reference to that and I can see nothing in any of the Treasury’s plans that indicates how the costs of the schools, hospitals and other infrastructure that will arise will be met in those circumstances. Surely the Minister has an answer. It was his document.
