Proceeding contribution from Lord Sarwar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 February 2012. It occurred during Opposition day on Banking (Responsibility and Reform).


Banking (Responsibility and Reform)

Is the Minister aware of today's announcement by the Clydesdale bank about its restructuring programme, which it says is taking place as a result of the UK Government's austerity Budget, which is causing difficulties for the bank and a difficult economic climate? It employs 2,000 people in my constituency. There are real concerns about job losses in Glasgow and about the closure of branches of that bank, which was going about its business in a meaningful way.
