Proceeding contribution from Baroness Royall of Blaisdon (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 20 October 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on European Council: 15-16 October 2008.


European Council: 15-16 October 2008

My Lords, it is clear from all the discussions that took place before the Council and at the Council that the plan devised by the Prime Minister, with the Chancellor and other colleagues, to recapitalise banks and so on, to bring stability to the financial system, is now being followed in the European Union and around the world. Of course, we should also recognise that the problems in the financial sector and in the real economy are inextricably linked. We have to find a solution to the financial crisis so that we can ensure that the real economy thrives.
