Many leading banks were implicated, including Deutsche Bank, Barclays, Citigroup, JPMorgan Chase, and the Royal Bank of Scotland. LIBOR is an index designed to...
Kevin Hollinrake: ...therefore paramount that we secure the right future for our post office network, which is one of the largest retail networks in the country, with 11,500 branches.

Lord McCrea of Magherafelt and Cookstown: ...year while the health service is already understaffed. To pay the nurses a proper wage, as negotiated on the mainland, more cuts will have to come.

James Murray: ..., I had the honour of serving in local and city-wide government in the capital, working every day to tackle the housing crisis.

Baroness Twycross: ...spread out over the country, due to the homes often being built where it costs less to build them. This means that almost a quarter of children’s homes are in the north-west and just 6% in London. It is not enough to blame local authorities; what more are the Government going to do to address the scale of the problem and what more support will they give to local authorities to address this?

Matthew Pennycook: ...acute in areas of the country, be they rural, coastal or urban, where the concentration of short-term holiday lets is extremely high.
