Proceeding contribution from Peter Atkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 December 2007. It occurred during Opposition day on Northern Rock.
Northern Rock
The hon. Gentleman has been dreadfully dismissive of the small shareholders, of whom there are 140,000. Yes, some acquired their shares on demutualisation and have been counting them as their savings for retirement. Many others, including people in my constituency, bought small quantities of shares because they wanted to support a good local business. They are the ones who will suffer. They should not be dismissed and put out of the picture.
