Proceeding contribution from Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 December 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Northern Rock.
Northern Rock
That is a helpful intervention, with which I have a great deal of sympathy. I used to be involved in an organisation called Save Our Building Societies, which campaigned against the original demutualisation of Northern Rock for precisely that reason. After a period of temporary public ownership, that might be one of the options that appear viable, but rushing into a sale now would preclude it. The hon. Gentleman is absolutely right.
