Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Postal Services Bill.
Postal Services Bill
The right hon. Member for Rotherham (Mr MacShane) was a former Minister and had 13 years in which he could have promoted the people's bank proposals. It is up to Parliament to suggest clauses. The hon. Member for Edinburgh South (Ian Murray) could have tabled a new clause on a people's bank for this legislation. Surely the right time to establish the people's bank in legislation was when his Government bailed out the banks with billions of pounds of public money, when it could have been imposed on the network of post offices that was left after the huge closure programme?
