Proceeding contribution from Austin Mitchell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 October 2007. It occurred during Debate on Public Accounts.


Public Accounts

The Northern Rock of ages was well cleft for him. I was really rebutting the point made by the Chairman of the PAC that it would be career-limiting to stand up to Ministers. It is essential that that be done; otherwise everybody is left with egg on their face. Let us not say that it is career-limiting to preside over disaster; let us say it is career-changing and possibly a path to promotion.
