Proceeding contribution from Liam Byrne (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 October 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Equitable Life.


Equitable Life

That, I know, is the million dollar question, which I cannot answer this afternoon. [Interruption.] I know. Until Sir John has finished looking at the principles of how we calculate relative loss and assess disproportionate impact, both of which we will want to debate in the House, I cannot answer that question. I can commit to a date for the next stage—the scheme’s design.
