Proceeding contribution from Lord Lyell of Markyate (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 3 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill

My Lords, I am most grateful to the Minister for giving those three examples, but they are all examples where the retrospective power could properly be said to be necessary. They would not need the words ““or desirable”” in order to have that power. Can the Minister draw that distinction as to why he needs ““desirable”” as well?
