Proceeding contribution from Lord Darling of Roulanish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill

No, the Bill does not address the question of offshore centres directly. As I shall describe, it provides wide-ranging powers to allow us to deal with a financial institution that gets into trouble. I do not want to go over the ground of Granite again, as it was debated extensively in February. The question of offshore financial centres is interesting, but the Bill does not directly address that.
