Proceeding contribution from Lord Goodlad (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 his reply on this group. Like the noble and learned Lord, Lord Morris, I thought that the Minister’s explanation for the use—for the first time in British legislation, I think—of the word ““desirable”” rather than ““necessary”” was unconvincing. No doubt he will come back to us with any previous use of the word, and no doubt tomorrow your Lordships’ Select Committee on the Constitution will carefully study precisely what he said. Perhaps he will revisit the matter at Third Reading. I will be seeking to withdraw the amendment.
