Proceeding contribution from Lord Beith (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 November 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Northern Rock.


Northern Rock

My constituents who have worked for Northern Rock, and people throughout the north-east who care about the new institution having its headquarters there, will be astonished at Labour's opposition to the deal, as it is designed to give a future to a bank that failed on Labour's watch, when guarantees were not worth the paper they were written on.
