Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) 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

We are governed by the objectives of the Bill, the operation of the special resolution regime and the definition of the emergency. The noble Lord will freely concede that. If he is saying, ““But you do not have a specific instance of a crisis to which this Bill might relate””, of course we do not. We are trying to anticipate how we defend the public interest in the future. That is bound to fall foul of the noble Lord’s request that I quote past examples chapter and verse.
