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


Northern Rock

Has my right hon. Friend noticed that The Daily Telegraph says today that he is doing the right thing in bringing Northern Rock into temporary public ownership, and that his action is likely to have considerable advantages for the taxpayer? Does not the view of that Tory newspaper contrast with the vacuous blather given from the Conservative Front Bench? That is the party that rushed the nationalisation of Rolls Royce through the House.
