Economy: Growth

Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 29 January 2013. It occurred during Debate on Economy: Growth.

I most grateful to my noble friend for giving way. I wonder whether I might tempt him on this very important point concerning how quantitative easing has artificially lowered gilt yields, which are used to calculate the liabilities, and therefore businesses are having to contribute money. Would a simple change not be to take the yields on corporate bonds as the measure instead of gilt yields?
