Proceeding contribution from Mark Hoban (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Rock.


Northern Rock

No one put forward a workable plan for a stand-alone remutualisation of Northern Rock. No mutual came forward in the final round with a bid to acquire Northern Rock. There is no point in hoping for a white knight to appear to remutualise Northern Rock when the reality is that none was forthcoming. I hope that the hon. Lady shares the view of Councillor Nick Forbes, leader of Newcastle city council, who said that he was"““delighted that the future of Northern Rock has now been decided with its sale to Virgin Money””."
