Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 3 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Economy.


Economy

My Lords, if the Opposition are so keen on inquiries, it would be sensible if they recognised that a few apologies are needed from the people in the banks who increased leverage by two or three times in the past three years. If we are going to hold inquiries, do we not need a wider public inquiry? Why are the Opposition not looking at the banks?
