Proceeding contribution from Michael Fallon (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 18 February 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Rock.


Northern Rock

Will the Chancellor confirm that clause 11 of his Bill will enable the Bank of England to offer financial assistance to any building society that might be in trouble? Is not the real signal from the nationalisation that he has announced today that from now on, any bank or building society that gets into trouble through its own incompetence can expect to be bailed out by the taxpayer?
