Contingencies Fund Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bim Afolami (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 24 March 2020. It occurred during Debate on bills on Contingencies Fund Bill.

I thank the right hon. Gentleman for giving way again. Is it not also important to recognise the nature of the schemes—that is, that they were put in place by the Treasury, the banks and the Bank of England all working together? The terms on which the banks are operating were agreed by all of them, so we need to ensure that all those parties—the Treasury, the Bank of England and the banks—collectively realise what needs to happen, rather than us necessarily saying that it is just the banks that are making it difficult; the structures and the terms are actually very important.
