Financial Emergency Measures in the Public Interest Bill 2009: Committee and Remaining Stages.
1:00 pm

It often happens that different branches of the EU and Government express concerns and seek reassurances, which they are given. They put forward propositions seeking the Government's response. The notion that the European Central Bank has rejected or condemned what the Government is doing is not true. It expressed certain concerns and it is the intention of the Government to reassure it. I do not want to get dragged down an alleyway but in many courts of justice there is the Latin motto fiat justicia ruat coelum, let justice be done even if the heavens fall in.
