Proceeding contribution from Lord McFall of Alcluith (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 12 March 2008. It occurred during Budget debate on AMENDMENT OF THE LAW.
AMENDMENT OF THE LAW
Exactly. When we compare what happens in the US with what has happened in the City, we see that the UK is a soft touch in that respect. Our record is abysmal. I want the Government to consider that, paying regard to what has been going on in the United States, and the FSA’s desire to ensure that the City’s reputation is cleaner, and is kept clean. They should also give the FSA the powers that other bodies have.
