Proceeding contribution from Mark Lazarowicz (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.
Banking Bill
Without the powers that the Government had from a number of directions they would not have been able to come forward with a proposed merger between HBOS and Lloyds TSB. My right hon. Friend will be aware that people were commenting this morning, in Scotland, in particular, that, given last week's announcements, the merger should not go ahead. What does he say to people who take that point of view?
