HOSIE CALLS FOR MYNERS’ RESIGNATION.

‘MINISTERIAL CAREER A CATALOGUE OF FAILINGS’

SNP Treasury spokesperson Stewart Hosie MP has called for the resignation of Lord Myners after it was revealed, in a letter to the Treasury Select Committee today (Tuesday) from former RBS Chairman Sir Tom McKillop, that the City Minister was fully briefed about former chief Sir Fred Goodwin's pension arrangements. Lord Myners previously insisted he had no knowledge of the detail of Sir Fred Goodwin’s pension arrangements.

Commenting, Mr Hosie said:

“Lord Myners’ position is untenable and he should resign or be removed from office.

“In his short ministerial career, he has presided over a catalogue of failings from the Goodwin pension mess to his failure to properly negotiate a solution for the Dunfermline.

“Gordon Brown’s government is lurching from one fiasco to another, and enough really must be enough.”
