Oral Answers to Questions

Lord Hanson of Flint Excerpts

Tuesday 13th December 2016 Commons Chamber

[Joseph Johnson]

With higher and further education policy, apprenticeships and skills in a single Department, the Government can now take a comprehensive, end-to-end view of skills and education. This Government will, of course, support people from their early years through to postgraduate study and work.

[Mr David Hanson (Delyn) (Lab)]

Is it not time for the Secretary of State to order an investigation into the Royal Bank of Scotland’s practices on lending to small businesses?

[Margot James]

The situation with RBS is under review and I am sure proposals will be made in the near future.

[Jesse Norman]

Yes.

[Mr David Hanson (Delyn) (Lab)]

Will the Secretary of State look urgently at today’s announcement by the Royal Bank of Scotland on its funding of repayments to small businesses? Will he produce a report on the Government’s response and place it in the Library, so that we can see the Government’s view of this approach by RBS?

[Greg Clark]

I have not seen the report. I will have to consider it and I will then, of course, write to the right hon. Gentleman with my reaction to it.
