Labour: Cable's bank needs Osborne's blessing
Labour's Shadow Business Secretary Chuka Ummunna criticised Vince Cable's plans for a business bank in the UK, saying it was unlikely to happen because the Treasury do not back the idea. He said:
Vince Cable will not be able to set up a business bank without the unequivocal backing of George Osborne, and already the Treasury is briefing that this bank is a non-starter. This is yet another Government policy thrown into uncertainty by bickering in Government before it has even got off the ground.
