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

Banking (Responsibility and Reform)

I welcome the debate and want to discuss a number of issues that arise from the motion, but, having explored it, I think it contains a strong hint of political expediency and opportunism. To a degree, the Opposition seem to be ignoring part of the history of the UK Government between 1997 and 2010. That said, this is an extremely important and topical issue and the motion therefore deserves proper consideration and scrutiny. My starting point would be to reflect on where we are today with some of the issues at hand and on what we are trying to achieve.
