Appeal to MP to pursue source of original Northern Rock leak.

Robin Ashby has today written to Jim Cousins MP, MP for Newcastle Central and a member of the Treasury Select Committee, in the following terms:

Dear Jim,

As you know, the Northern Rock Small Shareholders Group is not a party to the legal proceedings currently under way. The story on page 41 of today's Times is therefore the first we've heard about the evidence of John Kingham, ex Treasury, about who is responsible for the first leak to Peston of the BBC.
Can I therefore urge you to take up the cudgels again to try to find out through Parliament who in effect caused the run on the bank - and arguably made a substantial contribution to some of our current problems - by premature disclosure.
With best wishes
Robin Ashby
