Proceeding contribution from Lord Reid of Cardowan (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 31 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on The Economy.

The Economy

At the risk of being tedious, I hope that my right hon. Friend will add to the objectives strengthening transparency. How can we regulate that which we cannot discern? How can we supervise—literally, oversee—that which we cannot see? Unless we strengthen sections 14 and 15 of the communiqué, all the regulatory forums and structures in the world will not be able to operate because they will not have the necessary information from a neutral source. Will he give me a guarantee that the G20 will push on that front?
