Lords ChamberNo; I will not give way to a third Tory. Can the Minister tell us whether this is the first Government in history who have deliberately pursued a policy that they know—as the Chancellor confirmed this morning—will make this country and its people poorer? If not, please can he name any other Governments who have acted in such a way?
My Lords, my noble friends will have to decide which of them will ask a question.
My Lords, will my noble friend remind the questioner that square one for this country was to be a free, democratic country in which we elected our own Government and could sack our own Government? That is not the European Union.
I will agree with my noble friend briefly and then perhaps we can hear from the noble Lord, Lord Bridges.
