Northern Rock: Compensation
(asked on 30th January 2025) - View Source
Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing compensation for small shareholders for the loss of shares in Northern Rock Plc.
This question was answered on 6th February 2025
An independent valuer determined that Northern Rock shares were of no value immediately prior to the company being taken into public ownership, and therefore no compensation was due. This independent valuation was upheld in the both the Upper Tribunal in 2011 and the Court of Appeal in 2013. HM Treasury considers this matter settled.
