My question is to the Prime Minister. I refer to my earlier question about the impact of higher interest rates on the capacity of the government to repay debt, and the Prime Minister’s response that any dissent from, or questioning of, the government’s economic forecasts is ‘talking down the economy’. Given the Prime Minister has said he welcomes a debate on debt and deficit, I ask: does he only welcome a debate in which all participants agree with him?
