Proceeding contribution from Viscount Thurso (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 8 July 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Reforming Financial Markets.


Reforming Financial Markets

At the beginning of his statement the Chancellor mentioned the importance of competition. Does he accept that the shotgun marriage that he oversaw of Lloyds with HBOS was bad for competition, as well as proving to be a bad deal for both the shareholders and the taxpayer? Will he now do the honourable thing and oversee an amicable divorce?
