Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 6 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [HL].
I find this rather difficult. The Minister raises his eyebrows. I simply do not understand what the purpose of this forecast is going to be. Perhaps I may expand on that for a moment. We had an official forecast and we presume that the Government will operate on that basis, but apparently there is to be an internal forecast on which Ministers will base their decisions. The noble Lord is shaking his head.
