Proceeding contribution from Lord Oakeshott of Seagrove Bay (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 24 June 2009. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Dunfermline Building Society Compensation Scheme, Resolution Fund and Third Party Compensation Order 2009.

Dunfermline Building Society Compensation Scheme, Resolution Fund and Third Party Compensation Order 2009

The Minister is moving on, but I am afraid that I did not hear him answer my questions, which were pretty simple, I thought. Was this matter handled entirely in-house? I am particularly interested in the legal advice and the legal process followed by the Bank of England legal team. If it was not, were outside lawyers involved? If so, who were they, and what fee did they get? We have had the horrific revelation today that the Treasury managed to pay £22 million to Slaughter and May last year for financial advice. Was it Slaughter and May? If it was, how much did it receive? If the Minister does not have those facts to hand, will he undertake to write to me urgently, please?
