Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on The Economy.
The Economy
My right hon. Friend is right. It is especially unfair that the burden of the levy is falling on the building societies rather than on the investment banks. Many of the building societies—especially the larger ones, such as Nationwide—did the right thing and are paying a heavy price for it, as I saw when I went to Swindon. I will be going again to Swindon several times over the next year to discuss these issues with Nationwide.
