Proceeding contribution from Fiona Mactaggart (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 17 March 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council.
European Council
I welcome the decisions in the European Council about financial market transparency and today's boost to the liquidity of financial institutions by the Bank of England, but given that irresponsible lending by those institutions has created real risks for home owners, will the Prime Minister initiate discussions about how to keep people on the home ownership ladder? We have many excellent schemes to get people on the first rung, but existing home owners are at risk of losing their homes because of bad lending. What can he do to help them?
