Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Eatwell (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 27 November 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill.

My Lords, I add the support of these Benches for the commissioners’ amendment. I was particularly struck, as I hope the Government were, by the account related by the noble Lord, Lord Lawson, of what happened when he made these meetings legal but overlooked the need to put them into statute law,

with the result that they did not happen. We have an opportunity here to make these meetings take place and be effective. Both the Economic Affairs Committee of your Lordships’ House and the commission stand behind this amendment and the views that have been expressed, and I hope that the Government will as well.
