Proceeding contribution from Baroness Noakes (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill

My Lords, I speak as a person unfamiliar with belts and braces for keeping trousers up. The Minister said that civil servants could not be appointed, but the clause simply refers to a person appointed by the Treasury. Since I think that civil servants are persons—although I sometimes have a little trouble with that concept—and therefore could be appointed, can the Minister assure the House that a civil servant would never be appointed?
