Banking (Responsibility and Reform)

I am sure that many of those executives are watching the debate, and that they will pay attention to what my hon. Friend has said. I will finish by returning to where I started. We are proud of our financial sector; it is an asset. We need it to help create the jobs and growth that are so lacking at present. All we ask is that it better serve the real economy in this endeavour—and that it does so more responsibly. With that in mind, I urge all Members to support our motion.
