BARCLAYS BANK FUNDING

Early day motion 2400, tabled 3 November 2008 by David Drew (Labour). Signed by 22 members.

That this House is appalled at the decision of Barclays Bank to decide to seek Middle Eastern money rather than the support of the British Government to help tide it over current difficulties; is concerned that it has put the interests of those who will continue to receive bonuses over savers, lenders and even shareholders; and urges that this deal should not be pursued, and that if those in control of the Bank continue with it, savers, lenders and shareholders should take appropriate action against Barclays.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Liberal Democrat 3, Independent 2, DUP 1.
