Today, we are talking about the Investment Statement. These are published by the Treasury every four years, so a debate like this is a pretty rare occasion. So the question is: what is an Investment Statement? Well, it is supposed to make, based on the legislative underpinning of it, the Government of the day do three things. The first is to formulate a fiscal strategy with regard to its interaction with monetary policy. This is the theme that I want to return to soon because it has been one of the key points of contention in the wonderful Finance and Expenditure Committee throughout this term. The second is to formulate fiscal strategy with regard to its likely impact on present and future generations. I'll also expand on this requirement as weaved throughout the Investment State, particularly on the issue of climate change. The third legislative requirement is to ensure that the Crown's resources are managed effectively and efficiently.
