Proceeding contribution from Viscount Eccles (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 sorry to intervene again; I probably did not make myself clear. Even if Parliament was sitting, an order would have had to have been laid, for example, to suspend trading in the shares. That would have happened before Parliament could have any discussion. So even if Parliament was sitting, it would still be faced with action that had been taken that it would be extremely difficult to unscramble under the 28-day procedure.
