Proceeding contribution from Siobhain McDonagh (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 October 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Will my right hon. Friend find time to provide a debate on the treatment of my constituents, Mr. and Mrs. Webster, who have severe learning and physical difficulties, by G. E. Money, the US company which, in the last quarter, reported a profit of $5 million? The company is trying to evict my constituents from the home in which they have lived for more than 20 years, because they have fallen behind on a loan that they arranged in 1997—of only £10,000—with an astonishing interest rate of 21.9 per cent. G. E. Money has taken advantage of them, and it should act in accordance with its stated intention on its website of"““working with integrity and values””." Can we have a debate about social responsibility, and what integrity means to big business?
