GIVING RBS AND LLOYDS TO THE PEOPLE CAMPAIGN

Early day motion 1547, tabled 7 March 2011 by Stephen Williams (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 31 members.

That this House welcomes the launch of Getting Your Share: Giving the Banks back to the People, written by the hon. Member for Bristol West, in conjunction with Portman Capital and published by Centre Forum; believes that the British public will not accept a return to business as usual in terms of bank ownerships and practices; urges the Government to keep this in mind when it chooses to divest itself of the shares they currently own in RBS and Lloyds; and hopes they will look seriously at the idea of a public distribution which will empower the public and enable them to profit from future growth whilst ensuring that the Treasury gets its money back from the bailout.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 26, Labour 4, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
