Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 October 2008. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill

On that point, it is probably worth clarifying that the genesis of this Bill was in the depositor protection consultation of last October, when powers were sought to deal with failing banks based on the economic crisis that started last summer. The Bill, 200 clauses though it is, will not be on the statute book until 2009, so it is not exactly decisive action in relation to that point.
