Fiscal Responsibility Bill

I have enormous sympathy with the hon. Gentleman's objectives in this regard. The Chancellor has previously suggested—such as in the pre-Budget statement—that he thinks that if this Bill were enacted, it would require some adjustment in the light of future circumstances, which makes even greater nonsense of it. In light of the Chancellor's comments, does the hon. Gentleman agree that a report such as he is suggesting should be debated and voted on so that we are able to make a judgment about whether the Treasury should make an order in this regard?
