Proceeding contribution from Jim Devine (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Farepak.
Farepak
I would be grateful for the opportunity to join my hon. Friend at that demonstration outside the company’s headquarters. I agree that the same message should apply to everybody else. Given the time pressures, let me say, in summary, that I do not believe that the Department of Trade and Industry alone should be investigating the company and its directors. The Serious Fraud Office should be called in to investigate the company. I have written to the forfeiture body to say that Sir Clive Thompson should have his knighthood withdrawn. He got it in 1996 for services to industry, would you believe? We obviously need legislation, and I look forward to hearing what the Minister has to say.
