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 support my noble friend’s amendment. We live—is it supposedly?—in a sophisticated democracy, and it is a fault of Governments that they do not explain to the electorate what is happening to them. That is very much in evidence at the present time. The transparency inherent in my noble friend’s amendment is a very important issue and we should support it.
