Proceeding contribution from Anne Snelgrove (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Farepak.


Farepak

I could not agree more. Soon after the issue was raised on the Floor of the House during Trade and Industry questions on 19 October, all our hopes were raised with news of a British Retail Consortium good-will gesture. However, like many other Members, I was disappointed that, at home time last Thursday, just as we were leaving Parliament for our constituencies, so no one could be found to appear on the news, the BRC slipped out the news that it would not put together a rescue package. It is disappointing.
