We've got to stop this high youth unemployment – there's a great danger of creating a lost generation who've never known work. If you want to take people off the dole then we must make it cheaper for companies to be more flexible. The Government should help companies by offsetting some of these costs. I...

Banking in the U.K. needs some fresh ideas and an injection of new competition ... I'm delighted we will get the chance to work with the loyal staff of Northern Rock to create a new force in the market.
