 In September 2010 ''Telegraph'' interview, Marshall criticised Business Secretary [[Vince Cable]] for populist bank-bashing, and warned against European legislation that would extend tighter regulation from banks to the rest of the City:
 :"It's popular to bash the banks, there's a great deal of political appeal in that. But it's actually more important to fight the European financial legislation which is being driven by the French and Germans at the moment." He added: "We must be careful not to kill the goose that lays the golden eggs. The Government must be careful not to undermine the whole of the City of London through bank reform."<ref>Louise Armitstead, [http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/newsbysector/banksandfinance/8019195/Lib-Dem-donor-urges-Vince-Cable-to-defend-City.html Lib Dem donor urges Vince Cable to stop bank bashing and defend City], The Telegraph, 10 January 2011.</ref>
