Banking (Special Provisions) Bill

My Lords, I thank the Minister for giving way, and I shall be brief. He mentioned determination. Progress on the Bill has taken a lot of determination since it started 30 hours ago; it seems a long time ago, but it was only 30 hours ago. I began my speech yesterday by referring to a losing of trust because of the whole Northern Rock situation. Now we are being asked to trust the Government with this Bill. I do not think that anyone would disagree that we are in a Hobson’s choice situation. We have to back the Bill and we wish it every success. However, the Government have been determined to push it through in a hurry. My only question is: why the rush? That question has not been answered over the past 30 hours. Why has the Bill been rushed through? Haste makes waste.
