Proceeding contribution from Lord Higgins (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Monday, 9 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill

My Lords, as the Minister has been very sympathetic to the views expressed in the House throughout the passage of the Bill, could I just clarify one point? There is a clear difference between Amendment 1 and Amendment 2. Does the Minister regard the ability of depositors to get their deposits back as part of banking services? I should have thought that that was something rather different. It is not a service, as such. The Minister’s amendment does not seem to refer to the position of depositors getting their money back.
