Proceeding contribution from Mark Field (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 19 December 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Banking Commission Report.


Banking Commission Report

The Chancellor has acknowledged that the Vickers recommendation would gold-plate the already onerous capital requirements on EU banks, as set out in the Basel III protocol. Does he recognise that if the figures were implemented in full, there would be the twin risk of diminishing the attractiveness of London as a global financial centre and further disincentivising corporate lending by UK banks, which is an essential part of the economic recovery and growth that we all support?
