Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.

Banking Bill (Money)

My hon. Friend speaks with great clarity and is, of course, correct. Time and again, the Executive have performed the same trick. They add things to Bills late in their passage. In this case, they are adding the most massive sum of money. I realise that I am short of time if I want the Economic Secretary to speak again, and he must make it clear whether we are considering approving expenditure of not only billions but trillions. Will that be incorporated into the Government's balance sheet? If so, we will be a little country run by a big bank. The Economic Secretary must be clear: will the money be consolidated or not?
