Proceeding contribution from Ian Pearson (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 25 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Financial Services Bill.

Financial Services Bill

I take the hon. Gentleman's point. We want competition in the banking sector. He is right to point out that although we have had some large, powerful players, in some instances and in certain product offerings there has not been as much competition as the Government would have liked. The OFT has obviously been looking at that, and it will continue to want to examine it closely.
