Lord Livermore (Lab)
As I have said, I am being told by noble Lords opposite that speculation is wrong and now the noble Lord is asking me to speculate. As I have made very clear, I will not be commenting on individual tax measures.
Lord Scriven (LD)
My Lords, does the Minister agree with his colleague, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, who, when she was shadow Chancellor, said that teasing major policy shifts can create market uncertainty and should be avoided?
Lord Livermore (Lab)
As a general principle, I always agree with my right honourable friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer. As I said already, I am not going to comment on the ongoing Budget process.
