Proceeding contribution from Lord Forsyth of Drumlean (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill

My Lords, I think that the Minister may have been misinformed. As the noble Lord, Lord Turnbull, who was the Cabinet Secretary and is in quite a good position to remember these things, has pointed out, there is no consent required, and therefore there is no convention that would restrict us. Presumably the amendment, had it required something that was against privilege, would have been ruled out of order by the Clerk, so this is nonsense.
