Financial Services Bill

Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Financial Services Bill.

Will my hon. Friend reflect on the fact that trading in commodity derivatives can skew investment and whole industries if not properly regulated? For example, I visited the jute museum in Dundee, where one display made the point that the jute lords made more from trading in futures than they made from production. That might have made them less interested in diversifying their manufacturing industry, which has completely died.
