Proceeding contribution from George Osborne (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 July 2012. It occurred during Debate on Professional Standards in the Banking Industry.


Professional Standards in the Banking Industry

I am very grateful that I took that intervention, because right at the end, the hon. Lady said that there were allegations that Ministers had been involved. As I said, it is extraordinary that they are all blaming each other. The people who were in the Treasury are blaming the people who were in No. 10, and the people who were in No. 10 are blaming the people who were in the Treasury. Why do they not take responsibility collectively for the absolute mess that they made of regulating our banks, including the LIBOR market, during their time in government?
