NEW BUDGET DISPATCH BOX

Early day motion 1676, tabled 30 March 2011 by Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour). Signed by 6 members.

That this House notes with serious concern the Chancellor of the Exchequer's decision to purchase a new red dispatch box for this year's Budget at a cost of 4,300; believes the Chancellor of the Exchequer could have procured a cheaper alternative to the elaborate box he has chosen; and calls on the Government to give greater consideration to the amount it chooses to spend on similar items in future years.
