Proceeding contribution from Lord Lea of Crondall (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 2 June 2010. It occurred during Queen's speech debate on Queen's Speech.


Queen's Speech

I am grateful to the noble Lord for giving way in his last minute. When he referred to the banks, I expected to hear an agenda of banking reform, but his statement seemed to be, "Watch it. Goldman Sachs can do no wrong". Is that not a bit like the Conservative Party’s caricature 20 years ago of the TUC doing no wrong?
