Business question from John Robertson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 May 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.


Business of the House

My right hon. Friend will know that the five major banks in this country have reported more than £32 billion of profits in recent weeks, yet the complaints against them about overcharging and placing ATMs in areas where there are people on benefit and the elderly and in rural areas are increasing. Will he find time for a debate on whether we should introduce a regulator who can keep those banks in check and ensure that the people who can least afford it are not charged unduly?
