Proceeding contribution from Baroness Stuart of Edgbaston (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Rock.
Northern Rock
I want to be reassured that this is the right time to sell Northern Rock. I presume that the Treasury took into account the situation in the eurozone. If the Prime Minister currently believes the European Central Bank should be the bank of last resort and should therefore buy Italian bonds, why does the Financial Secretary think that back in 1976 a Labour Government did not instruct the Bank of England to buy British bonds but instead called in the International Monetary Fund?
