Ex-minister urges short-selling ban

"LABOUR MP Frank Field will launch a private-member’s bill tomorrow to ban the short-selling of shares.

It would also require pension-fund trustees to disclose whether shares they control have been lent to short-sellers.

Field’s move reflects a head of steam building up in parliament against short-sellers. So far 34 Labour MPs have signed up to his accompanying early-day motion backing the ban on short-selling. "

I like to think I did my bit to build consensus with my letter to John McFall MP (and his response).
