OBR: Resignation of Chair

Debate between Lord Sandhurst and Lord Livermore

Monday 8th December 2025 Lords Chamber

[Lord Livermore (Lab)]

As I have said before, we take the Budget process extremely seriously and we put the utmost weight on Budget secrecy. A leak inquiry is now under way with the full support of the Chancellor, and the Permanent Secretary to the Treasury will also conduct a review of the Treasury’s security processes to inform future fiscal events.

[Lord Sandhurst (Con)]

With respect to the Minister, that is not an answer to the question. Will he confirm or deny?

[Lord Livermore (Lab)]

As I have said before, we take the Budget process very seriously and we put the utmost weight on Budget secrecy.
