Proceeding contribution from Michael Meacher (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 January 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Youth Unemployment and Bank Bonuses.


Youth Unemployment and Bank Bonuses

No, I will not give way now. Bankers' bonuses have already nearly proved the ruination of this country. What we need is a smaller banking sector that serves the real needs of this country, and particularly of its young people, if we are to avoid a lost generation. Saying no to bonuses, or at least taxing them, is certainly the right way to start.
