Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 December 2008. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Sutherland Inquiry.


Sutherland Inquiry

That issue is currently being looked at by the Select Committee, which is the right forum for that purpose. What has happened with the EMAs has been unacceptable, but it is clear why it happened and the Select Committee will consider the subject. I do not think that an independent review is the right way to proceed, but I am happy to listen to and give evidence to the Select Committee to ensure that if there are any lessons to be learned in the case of EMAs, we will learn them.
