Proceeding contribution from Lord Clinton-Davis (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Rock.
Northern Rock
My Lords, did not the former Chancellor, the noble Lord, Lord Lawson, illustrate perfectly well why the previous, Tory Government failed? Would not the Conservatives have been the first to complain if the Government had not explored every possibility before coming down in favour of public ownership? Have not the Conservative Opposition forfeited any constructive ideas about the issue; rather, they have opted to put them on the shelf?
