Enforcement Of Bank Of England Act 1694
EDM number 597 in 2010-12, proposed by Austin Mitchell on 22/07/2010.
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 in the sum of three times the value of the abusive trading.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
