Proceeding contribution from Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Equitable Life.
Equitable Life
I am sure that many thousands of our constituents will be relieved to hear the statement but, as ever, the devil is in the detail. The right hon. Lady will have thought about the staffing needed to do this quickly and properly, and about from where those staff will be drawn, even before Lord Justice Chadwick finishes his deliberations. I hope that she will correct me if I am wrong but, call me a cynical old lawyer, ““ex gratia”” often means selling someone short to make them go away.
