Prosecution Of Bankers

EDM number 353 in 2014-15, proposed by Paul Flynn on 15/10/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Administration of justice, Employment and Financial institutions.

That this House strongly agrees with the argument of the Governor of the Bank of England, Mark Carney, that banking directors and top executives should be made more responsible for any reckless behaviour because reforms to curb bank pay were not enough to prevent another financial crisis; and calls on the Attorney General and regulatory bodies to bring forward evidence to permit prosecution by the Crown Prosecution Service of senior bankers and ex-bankers who undermined the British economy by their reckless and irresponsible behaviour.

This motion has been signed by a total of 18 MPs.
