Proceeding contribution from Peter Bone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 18 March 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on The Economy.


The Economy

The right hon. Gentleman is making a powerful speech, and I am grateful to him for giving way. Does he see the dilemma faced by the banks? The Government are saying, "You must lend more money to business" on the one hand, and "You have to get your capital ratios up" on the other. How can banks do both?
