Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 10 February 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Banking Bill.

Banking Bill (Money)

That is absolutely right. I am sure that right hon. and hon. Members will know of other liabilities, real or contingent, that they could add, but I will not into that today. The Government's alternative to Lords amendment 83 says:"““The Treasury must aim to give as much information as possible in a report, subject to””" not specifying individuals or amounts to individuals, and I understand why. My question for the Minister is this: will he put it on record that the intention behind the words with which the Government intend to replace Lords amendment 83 is still to provide sufficient detail to enable Parliament and the public to understand the actual and potential commitments in the public finances?
