Most recent appearances
- Opposition Day: [Un-Allotted Half Day] — Banking (Responsibility and Reform) (7 Feb 2012)
“When the Governor of the Bank of England appeared before the Treasury Select Committee, he deplored the banks’ refusal to meet the Merlin targets. Furthermore, he said that the Government had chosen the wrong targets, which allowed the banks to hide the fact that they were not lending properly to small businesses. Was he misleading the Committee?”
- Opposition Day: [Un-Allotted Half Day] — Banking (Responsibility and Reform) (7 Feb 2012)
“The problem for the public is that the Minister can lecture private shareholders in private banks to use their power to limit bonuses in their banks, but Ministers, who are the owners of RBS, have not intervened and used shareholder power to get good behaviour in the bank they own. Why?”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Home Department: Financial Services Bill (6 Feb 2012)
“May I first align myself with the remarks that my right hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle upon Tyne East (Mr Brown) made about the Chairman of the Joint Committee on the Bill, the right hon. Member for Hitchin and Harpenden (Mr Lilley)? The fact that I was still on the Committee at the end of its sittings shows that he was indeed tolerant and patient. I would like also to put on record...”
