Proceeding contribution from Lord Wedderburn of Charlton (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 December 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Investment Exchanges and Clearing Houses Bill.


Investment Exchanges and Clearing Houses Bill

Perhaps I may ask the Minister a question. I do not pretend to be an expert in this highly complicated field but I am aware of what I have heard from experts outside the discussions of the House and of what I took from the noble Lord, Lord Bridges, in moving the amendment. He asked the Minister whether it would be possible for Members of the House, with their advisers, to consider the highly important and, if I may say so with great credit to him, extraordinarily complex statement that hehas made—which, after all, envisages questions of extraterritoriality, foreign legal systems and European Union law, which I have also heard experts discuss—and the Minister’s very important reply to the amendment again after Christmas, when, no doubt, they and their advisers will be in a mellow mood from a happy period of recess.
