Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Rock.


Northern Rock

My Lords, the noble Lord has quoted the Industry Act 1971. He may also recall that Rolls-Royce was nationalised in a day and at a time when the then Conservative Government had a totally unquestioning and compliant upper House to ensure that there was no problem for the lower House in that respect.
