Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill

The hon. Gentleman said the statement was not needed and there was not panic, but people were moving money all over the place. They were putting money into Irish banks after the Irish gave a whole deposit guarantee. I cannot believe he is suggesting that it was not necessary. My view is that had the Government given such a deposit guarantee earlier, there might not have been as large a devaluation of the banks as there has been over the past two weeks.
