Proceeding contribution from Lord Davies of Oldham (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.

Banking Bill

My Lords, I have said my piece for Report, but the noble Viscount presses me. He caught me just before I sat down, so I shall respond to his points. I take on board his point; this is not the first time that he has addressed himself to the issue. We take the matter seriously and we are concerned, as we said on a previous amendment, to ensure that, as far as possible, the authorities will be open in their actions. He will recognise how far the Government have gone with these amendments to meet the main debate that we had in Committee, which related to the issues that the noble Baroness raised with her amendment. I hope that the noble Viscount will think that the Government have listened carefully and made a constructive response.
