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)

The Minister is being his usual generous self in giving way. The point he seems to be making is that because the Government were worried about misinformed speculation getting to the markets, they decided they would use one particular BBC media person to present the Government's case. Is that the reason all the stories came from the same BBC man nightly on our news screens?
