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


Northern Rock

The right hon. Gentleman is right: the Conservatives want the bank not to take any new business, which would involve it being run off. At least, that is one policy that they are advocating; it would not surprise me if they had another one by tomorrow. That sort of inconsistency would just compound the difficulties that Northern Rock faces. In relation to the action that we have taken, I am grateful for the right hon. Gentleman's support.
