Finance Bill

Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 20 July 2010. It occurred during Debate on bills on Finance Bill.
I supported fiscal stimulus; I still support fiscal stimulus when it is necessary. The question is not what may or may not have been spun at a G20 meeting, but why the Labour Government left the UK as one of only two G20 countries without a fiscal stimulus package in 2010. I welcome banking regulation, but given that Northern Rock began to collapse in the late summer of 2007, why will the real new banking regulation that we need still not be in place until the autumn of 2012?
