Proceeding contribution from Iain Duncan Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Rock.
Northern Rock
It is a long time since we have seen so many smiling faces below the Gangway in response to an announcement by the Chancellor—he has certainly pleased one big audience down there. May I press the Chancellor on the issue of competitiveness? As he said, the bank is going to trade through. He talked about it trading responsibly and not abusing its position under state control, but how will he guarantee that it will be unable to abuse that position or to continue as it has, which is what got it into so many problems in the first place?
