Proceeding contribution from Jeremy Corbyn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 August 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Global Economy.
Global Economy
Does the Chancellor of the Exchequer have any concerns about the unaccountable power of the credit rating agencies, who, seemingly at a whim, can cause disasters to be visited on small and vulnerable economies, increase interest rates, and lead to public spending cuts and devastation to many poor people's lives? Does he not think it is time that these rating agencies are brought under some kind of accountable control?
