The PBR was introduced by Gordon Brown when Labour came into power in 1997.

Forecast

Businesses quite rightly complain when government is opaque about its future plans. Seems a step backwards to remove a process that could extend large areas of policy for up to 18 moths forward. Politically, it is predictable, of course, as the less is said, the less is accountable.
