BANKS AND FREEDOM OF INFORMATION

Early day motion 800, tabled 12 February 2009 by David Davies (Conservative). Signed by 36 members.

That this House believes that all banks which have received public funds and in which the British taxpayer now owns more than 50 per cent. of their value should be governed by the same freedom of information rules as Parliament; and calls on the senior management of these part-nationalised banks to publish their receipts for expenses in full.

Signatures by party: Labour 15, Conservative 5, Liberal Democrat 5, DUP 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Independent 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1, UUP 1.
