Proceeding contribution from Lord Newby (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 13 January 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill

The Minister has demonstrated the point that I made at the beginning of my intervention. His definition of ““reasonably”” is not the common person’s definition. The common definition of ““reasonably”” is that it is reasonable—it is moderately likely. It is not that ““by using one’s reason one can come to only one conclusion””. That strengthens the argument for this amendment.
