Proceeding contribution from Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 2 March 2009. It occurred during Question for short debate on Financial Services Authority.


Financial Services Authority

My Lords, it has obviously been a very difficult few days for the Minister, and it reflects well on him that he took the trouble to set that out in that way. Certainly from this Front Bench I am happy to accept that explanation. He did, though, say that it is not for a Minister to seek to break a legal agreement of this kind. So could he please explain why the Leader of the House of Commons sought to do that yesterday on television, and had she consulted either the Chancellor or the Prime Minister before she did so?
