Two big-hitting former Loretto School pupils and past Chancellors of the Exchequer will face each other head to head in central London later next month.
Alistair Darling, who left Loretto in 1971 and Norman Lamont, who left a decade earlier, will debate whether or not the current Chancellor’s economic strategy is working.
As growth evaporates and debt soars, the Chancellor, George Osborne, is facing louder calls than ever to implement Plan B; Alastair Darling feels that he should and Norman Lamont thinks that he should follow his current plan.
Jonathan Hewat, Director of External Affairs at Loretto commented, “Whilst Alistair Darling and Norman Lamont sit on different sides of the political fence, I am quite sure that if things get too heated, we can remind them both of common ground – their happy time at Loretto School!”
