uk banking reform October 11, 2007
Posted by Bradley in : Uncategorized , trackbackThe UK Government published a discussion paper on banking reform and the Guardian reports:
“A new regime is needed so that depositors are insulated from a bank that fails,” said the chancellor, who also revealed that he and his wife have a Northern Rock mortgage.
Today’s Hansard quotes the Chancellor as follows:
With permission, Mr. Speaker, I should like to make a statement on Northern Rock plc. Before I start, however, I draw the House’s attention to the fact that I have informed both the Register of Members’ Interests and the Treasury’s permanent secretary that, like many others, my wife and I have a mortgage with Northern Rock, but no savings or deposits.
