Proceeding contribution from Andrew Smith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 30 November 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Financial Services Bill.


Financial Services Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree that the shadow Chancellor was deeply unconvincing in putting forward his arguments? As I listened to him, I wondered whether he was not in a sense giving the game away. He used a double-edged political sword against us. He said that we were defending the existing arrangements because of the Prime Minister's role in their genesis, but it sounded to me as if he was attacking them precisely because of the Prime Minister's role. Is there anything in that?
