Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 20 January 2009. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Banking Bill.

Banking Bill

I thank the Minister for explaining what he had in mind, and I am grateful for his opinion that the arrangement should not last a long time. On the point about legacy systems raised by my noble friend Lord Higgins, we would not expect them to have to last a long time, simply because people today have to survive dealing with their own systems. I suspect that it would be unsatisfactory for a transferee to be dependent on its former home to provide its services over a long time. The natural instinct should be to drive away. I am grateful for what the Minister said. As I mentioned, the British Bankers’ Association is exercised about this. I shall ask it to read what the Minister said in Hansard and advise me whether it continues to have a concern. Amendment 106 withdrawn.
