Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [HL]

Proceeding contribution from Lord Barnett (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 29 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Budget Responsibility and National Audit Bill [HL].
The noble Lord now seems to be saying that the OBR can already do the job that the amendments are suggesting. In that case, why not accept the amendments? He has not given us a good reason for rejecting them. He seems to be saying that the OBR can already do the job and the amendments are not necessary, so what harm would including them do?
