Proceeding contribution from Lord Robathan (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Banking (Asset Protection Scheme).
Banking (Asset Protection Scheme)
I guess this banking crisis and the recession are the most important issues facing the country and Parliament today. I do not know whether the Chancellor noticed while he was making his statement that there were only about a dozen Government Back Benchers behind him and three times that number on these Opposition Benches for a party half the size. To what does he ascribe that? Does he think that it is because Government supporters are not interested or are idle, or does he think that Government Back Benchers have, like the rest of the country, lost confidence in him and his Government?
