I would like the Minister to come in here and tell us why the banks have not loaned to those who need it and where the money has gone. We can talk about Google and Kerry Co-op, both wonderful organisations, but we must talk about the 90,000 companies of five to eight people which will be devastated, and which are being devastated, by banks. I cannot tell the House about my anger about the incapability of banks, the queuing, interest rates and lack of human contact with most of us on a personal level, but we all sit here and allow them to do what they like. They are doing what they like to small businesses, and somebody should stand up and stop them.
