The Winchester & Chandler's Ford MP was first up in the Chamber at the regular 12pm mid-week session, and asked David Cameron if he shared his 'disbelief' and grave concerns at the nightmare that was unfolding, and that the Rev Flowers, who was responsible for the money of many of his constituents, could ever be considered for the position of Chairman.
In urging the Prime Minister to seek some answers on behalf of MPs across the House, he said: "What can my right honourable Friend now do to find out how on earth that happened?"
In thanking Steve Brine for making the important point, the Prime Minister said that his first priority is to safeguard the bank, and ensure it is safeguarded without using taxpayers' money.
He detailed how the Chancellor, George Osborne, will work with regulators to examine the most appropriate form of inquiry that could take place to get to the bottom of what went wrong, but said there were clearly a lot of questions which remained unanswered."
Paul Flowers, a Methodist minister who led the bank for three years, is facing a police inquiry after he was reportedly caught buying and using illegal drugs including crystal meth, crack cocaine and ketamine.
Labour's leadership has attempted to distance itself from Flowers, a former Eastleigh councillor, after it emerged he attended a private meeting with Ed Miliband, and both men were also present at two dinners in Westminster, according to the Guardian.
He said: "Why was Reverend Flowers judged suitable to be chairman of a bank, and why were alarm bells not rung earlier, particularly by those who knew? In the coming days, it will be important for anyone who has information to stand up and provide it to the authorities."
Ed Miliband then stood up to begin his question.
