Enforcement Of Bank Of England Act 1694
EDM number 1297 in 2008-09, proposed by Austin Mitchell on 20/04/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Financial institutions.
That this House, observing that the intention of the founding Act of the Bank of England in 1694 was `that their Majesties' subjects may not be oppressed by the said corporation', notes that those subjects have been seriously oppressed by the Bank's failure to control the greed, risk-taking and speculation of the banking system over which it presides; and therefore suggests that this oppression should be dealt with as the Act provides by fines three times the value of the abusive trading.
This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
