§ Lord Pestonrose to move, That this House takes note of the report of the Select Committee on Economic Affairs on The MPC and Recent Developments in Monetary Policy (2nd Report, HL Paper 66).
The noble Lord said: My Lords, despite having placed the burden on my noble friend Lord Barnett, it appears that I must beg to move as well. Just before doing so, I certainly strongly believe that the debate was worth while, and that conducting it jointly a fortiori was worth while—not least because otherwise, neither of us would have had a debate, but also because the two reports intermingled. I beg to move.
Moved, That this House takes note of the report of the Select Committee on Economic Affairs on The MPC and Recent Developments in Monetary Policy (2nd Report, HL Paper 66).—(Lord Peston).
§ On Question, Motion agreed to.
§ House adjourned at nineteen minutes before ten o'clock.
