Proceeding contribution from Kelvin Hopkins (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Saving Gateway Accounts Bill.
Saving Gateway Accounts Bill
I am listening with great interest to the hon. Gentleman's history lesson. Is he not really suggesting that we should have a national, publicly owned savings bank, driven by the interests of the public and not by the interests of shareholders? Does he agree that such an institution would benefit from economies of scale and be cheap to administer, and therefore greatly benefit depositors?
