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


Banking Bill (Money)

The special resolution regime will apply when a bank is clearly failing. The right hon. Gentleman should rest assured that many steps would be taken before determining that a bank was failing and the threshold conditions had been met. The issues that he is talking about do not need to be part of the Bill, because it is about stabilisation of a failing bank. The actions that he is referring to will have been taken—or at least considered and evaluated—before that point is reached.
