Proceeding contribution from Diane Abbott (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Financial Services Bill.


Financial Services Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree that this is not just a matter of the relationship between the Government and this House, as it also relates to the relationship between the Government and the public? As we move into a period of austerity, if there is not sufficient accountability for the sorts of measures the Government view as necessary, it creates political instability. People do not see where the accountability lies for some of the austerity measures that are coming—not just in this country, but across Europe.
