Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Rock.
Northern Rock
I encourage the Chancellor to resist the calls from Conservative Members to run off the bank completely, and instead to keep it going as a business. I welcome his comments about the Northern Rock Foundation continuing to secure income. After all, if the north-east had been offered even a share of £50 billion in Government loans and guarantees, we could have used it to benefit the region. At least the foundation can give us some benefit.
