Proceeding contribution from George Mudie (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Financial Services Bill.


Financial Services Bill

That is an important point. I think that it was Charles Goodhart who raised the question of indicators. They are certainly interesting, but on a wider scale, I think it more important to establish that, given that the Monetary Policy Committee is linked to a target of 2% inflation, the Financial Policy Committee should be linked to growth employment measures that ensure that there is no ““safety low level”” of stability, and be forced to have a look at the problems of the real world out there.
