Proceeding contribution from Stephen Williams (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 23 January 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Sale of Student Loans Bill.


Sale of Student Loans Bill

It sounds as though the hon. Gentleman is describing a Quaker clause, which is common in my constituency, whereby there are no pubs on a particular swathe of land because of restrictions put on its sale. He is a lawyer and I am an accountant. He seems to be confusing contract law of restrictive covenants with accountancy law on what can be kept on-balance sheet, which I think is what the Minister is getting at. Does he recognise that he might be going down the wrong avenue?
