Proceeding contribution from John Penrose (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Industry and Exports (Financial Support) Bill.


Industry and Exports (Financial Support) Bill

I am sure that the hon. Lady would want to be accurate. To be clear, the Conservative party has just published a report on banking regulation and believes that a great deal of reform is needed, including much tougher regulation, to prevent systemic risk in banking. Elsewhere in the economy, which is being held back by an awful lot of heavy-handed red tape, we agree with light-touch regulation, as indeed do the Government.
