Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance Bill.


Finance Bill

In August and September 2007, when I and some others were urging the Government to make more cash and liquidity available to the banking system to prevent the collapse of Northern Rock and others, why did they ignore our warning? Why did they lecture the banks about having got it wrong, instead of supplying reasonable amounts of money to see them through, and then bankrupt them as a result?
