Proceeding contribution from Vincent Cable (Liberal Democrat) 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

I shall come to the Sarbanes-Oxley legislation, and what it might entail, later. The issue here is whether two particular American companies, the two biggest exchanges in the world, will be able to launch an unresisted takeover of the UK exchanges. The American Government are one or two steps removed from this process.
