Banking (Special Provisions) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stuart Bell (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bills on Banking (Special Provisions) Bill.
That is the principle of securitisation. Securitisation has been here for 20 years. If the House wants a lesson on the concept, let me explain that it began with General Motors. Opposition Members have no understanding of what securitisation means, but everything that the hon. Lady has said is right: that is what securitisation is about. The Opposition's inability to understand securitisation reveals that they do not understand the City of London, do not understand the financial markets, and do not understand why we are in this position.
