Business question from Jim Devine (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 November 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Can we have an early debate on the scandal of Farepak, which becomes more intriguing every day? On the ““Today”” programme on Monday, Sir Clive Thompson said that the company was negotiating a rescue package with Halifax Bank of Scotland in March. At the same time, Farepak was sending out letters to my constituents telling them that they were going to have the best Christmas ever. Hundreds of thousands of decent, ordinary people want to know why, if there were problems in March, they were not notified. Why did the company and HBOS wait until the final payments had been made? More importantly, where has the money gone? Does my right hon. Friend agree that Sir Clive Thompson is the unacceptable face of capitalism and does not deserve to be a knight of the realm?
