Proceeding contribution from Charles Walker (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.
Banking Bill
Does my hon. Friend not agree that it was crazy for the Financial Services Authority and the Bank of England to allow Northern Rock to offer mortgages in excess of 100 per cent. of the value of a property, and sometimes worth up to 125 per cent. of that value? Also, was it not crazy to allow self-certification of income? People could just pick a number, and the banks and building societies would accept it.
