Proceeding contribution from Viscount Bledisloe (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 February 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking (Special Provisions) Bill.


Banking (Special Provisions) Bill

My Lords, the noble Lord referred, albeit fleetingly, to the sunset clause. Why should not the period of the sunset clause be a great deal shorter—say, one or two months? Is he worried that if it was so shortened, the fact that this is in reality a Hybrid Bill dressed up as a Public Bill would become too apparent?
