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


Northern Rock

The deal that the Minister has announced represents the best value that can be obtained for the taxpayer at this time, and for as long as financial crises continue to abound. We have secured the jobs of people in the north-east, hence the good cheer that is felt there. Does my right hon. Friend agree that the good news is here, and that the reason people may look po-faced is that, once again, we are clearing up a hell of a mess?
