Proceeding contribution from Andrew Pelling (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill

Is not the fact that no one was responsible for dealing with asset price inflation fundamental to the crisis that we have faced? The easing of credit during the dotcom boom and the previous Asian financial crisis meant that we stoked up the problems that have had such severe consequences. It is only by imposing those additional responsibilities on the authorities that such crises can be prevented in future.
