Banking Bill

The Minister should not worry about it. The FSA may have published information in the past but that is no guarantee that it will do so in the future. I am sure that it will, but if there is a requirement for it to do so that will be absolutely certain. There is also a question of the quantity of information that the FSA makes available. I have not seen the documents to which the Minister has referred, so I cannot make a judgment on that, but I would certainly like to look at them and see if the sort of reports the FSA is making would be of use. I am not sure that the Minister is correct in saying that the FSA is unable to take steps to avoid the special resolution regime having to be implemented. If it cannot take those steps, why on earth is it involved? Presumably one of its regulatory roles is to try to implement conditions to avoid this sort of thing happening. Anyway, when I have fully recovered from being a Baroness, I shall look at Hansard and consider the Minister’s remarks carefully. In the mean time, I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment 29 withdrawn. Clause 8 agreed.
