Most recent appearances
- Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland: Lending (Small Businesses) (17 Jun 2009) has video
“May I add my voice to all the tributes that have been paid to you, Mr. Speaker? I look forward to bumping into you in my constituency. Does my hon. Friend share the view that the scale of what has been done to support the banks in the United Kingdom makes a very powerful and persuasive case for the protection of Scotland's interests within the United Kingdom?”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Scotland: Credit (18 Mar 2009) has video
“Does my right hon. Friend agree that, although credit is important to business, so is the ability of Scottish business to get involved in emerging markets? For example, Aspen Solutions in Cumbernauld has won a Department for International Development contract to send IT to Sierra Leone to help to build that country's infrastructure. What is he prepared to do to assist other such companies?”
- Oral Answers to Questions — Prime Minister: Engagements (11 Feb 2009) has video
“It is right that there is outrage over the fact that the highly paid bankers who helped to create the current crisis are considering being paid huge bonuses, but does my right hon. Friend agree that the bank workers at the lowest end of the scale should not be penalised for their bosses' failures?”
