« Economy | Back to most recent briefing | Press briefing morning 13 July 2012 »
Asked whether the PM was concerned that a member of the Treasury Select Committee had called the banking inquiry a ‘whitewash’ and a ‘total joke’, the PMS said that membership of the inquiry committee had been agreed between the parties. The committee for the inquiry has powers to appoint special advisors including counsel would be able to examine witnesses on its behalf.
Asked whether parties picked their respective members, whether the Chancellor had a say on the membership and whether the PM was happy that there were no women on the committee team, the PMS said that the membership had been agreed between the parties.
Asked who the peers on the committee would be, the PMS referred the journalist to the Treasury for details.
