Reform of the Banking System
Early Day Motion, DM 1141, proposed by Pavilion MP, Caroline Lucas, 06.12.2010.
"That this House notes that the bank bonus season is beginning; is outraged that whilst people suffer cuts to their services and brace themselves for the forthcoming rise in VAT, the banks are back to business as usual; condemns the proposed payout of nearly 7 billion in City bonuses this year and further notes that 7 billion is more than the first wave of public spending cuts being made in the wake of the banking crisis-driven recession; welcomes the increasing number of grassroots public campaigns springing up in 15 nations as part of the fast-growing counterweight to the power of the banks, including the New Economics Foundation's Take Back Our Banks campaign; and calls for radical change in the banking sector, including the separation of retail banking and speculative activities, the introduction of country-by-country reporting to ensure banks disclose information for every location in which they trade, the introduction of a Robin Hood tax, a more ambitious bank levy and permanent new controls on bankers' bonuses."
There were 47 signatories.

New Falmer flyover opens
A new road junction and flyover, seen above during construction, have opened on the A270 near the Albion's Amex Community Stadium at Falmer.
The £5m scheme, funded by the South East England Development Agency (SEEDA) and led by Brighton & Hove City Council, was a condition of planning permission for the stadium.
As well as being linked to the stadium project, the new road layout will improve access to academic buildings along the Lewes Road and the proposed new historical archives centre, the Keep, which secured planning permission earlier this month.
The junction offers access to Stanmer Park and major buildings nearby, while the 300m flyover enables traffic from the Lewes direction to bypass this and head straight into central Brighton. Read more.
