Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [HL]

Again, I am advised that the drafting of the amendment would not necessarily achieve that end. If we include ““in the light of economic policies””, even if it was widely interpreted, does that mean we should refer also to other aspects of sustainability, such as, for example, the impact of external shocks? I believe that the subsection works, even as drafted. We absolutely agree with both noble Lords in terms of what we expect to be taken into account, but we do not consider that the amendment will help. Its drafting does not do the trick and, I am advised, aims at something which is not necessary because we have it in Clause 5(3).
