Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 June 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Rural Communities (Recession).
Rural Communities (Recession)
My hon. Friend is making an excellent speech, and I am sorry to interrupt him. He mentioned small businesses and farm diversification. Does he agree that such businesses are often critically dependent on banking finance and credit, which, at the moment, are becoming more and more difficult for them to obtain? That should be an absolute priority for the Government. There are many things over which they have no control, and many things that are going to cost money, but using their influence over, and shareholding in, the major banks would help to solve that problem.
