Proceeding contribution from Lord Northbrook (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 support the noble Lord, Lord Eatwell, and his amendments to strengthen the Financial Stability Committee. I take his point about the likely short life of the committee and how it might benefit from the extra membership, particularly as the Minister has stressed the importance of the tripartite regime. To reiterate an old chestnut of mine, I am sorry that the noble Lord, Lord Turner, cannot be here to put in a word for this as well.
