Mortgage Arrears: Motion (Resumed) (4 Nov 2009)

James Bannon: I will continue where I left off yesterday evening on this important debate. What gives any Government the right to prioritise assistance to the very banks that are foreclosing on customers on whom they almost forced loans in the boom years?
