Investment Exchanges and Clearing Houses Bill

I seek a little more clarity. Many of the issues we are discussing are about specific commercial companies, which presumably would be dealt with in our country by, for example, the Companies and Insolvency Acts and legislation covering audit, but the Bill is specifically about exchanges and clearing houses. I think that we might be crossing over too much from normal commercial activity. I want us to focus on the Bill’s objectives, which seem to be to avoid burdensome regulation over and above that required for an exchange or a clearing house. Is that not what we should be focusing on?
