Proceeding contribution from Richard Shepherd (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.


Banking Bill (Money)

My right hon. Friend the Member for Wokingham (Mr. Redwood) said, ““Call me old-fashioned””. I am old-fashioned, as I believe most Members probably are, in the sense that I believe it is not unreasonable to want to know what liabilities one is entering into, or leastways to hear figures suggesting what those liabilities might be. ““Due diligence”” is a phrase that echoes through almost every transaction in the commercial world.
