Proceeding contribution from Lord Boswell of Aynho (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking (Special Provisions) Bill.


Banking (Special Provisions) Bill

I have not been a regular follower of this issue. Can the Minister explain to me how she can possibly justify saying that the bank is not performing a public function when the whole point of the state intervention that we are sanctioning tonight is—allegedly, and on her own account—to safeguard the stability of the banking system?
