BANKING TRANSPARENCY

Early day motion 2227, tabled 13 October 2008 by Harry Cohen (Labour). Signed by 48 members.

That this House considers that proper accounting and transparency rules must apply to all banks and financial institutions that operate in the UK; and is of the opinion that those institutions which do not avail themselves of state funds for a shareholding stake, which is their right, must nevertheless be required to comply with higher standards of accounting and transparency of their activities overall.
