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

The Minister takes me to my second question, before I determine what to do with the amendment. When he spoke earlier, he emphasised that, "““so far as is reasonably practicable””," applied only to paragraph (b) of the provisions, whatever they are. He made a distinction between that and paragraph (a), which is about price. The Minister has said that again, which may be fine, but it is not what the Bill actually says. The Bill applies the qualification, "““so far as is reasonably practicable””," to paragraphs (a) and (b). Therefore, again, the Minister has given me a slightly confused message and I wonder whether he can explain it.
