Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 28 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Investment Exchanges and Clearing Houses Bill.


Investment Exchanges and Clearing Houses Bill

The hon. Gentleman has completely misunderstood the proposals. The Bill is not trying to block American takeovers. It might better be entitled the ““Protection of Your Interests (Having Taken It Over)”” Bill. It is saying to the American exchanges that we will not let the American Government mess up the asset if they acquire it.
