Proceeding contribution from Stewart Hosie (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 1 December 2009. It occurred during Debate on European Financial Services Proposals.


European Financial Services Proposals

I am happy with the idea of a new architecture and a global system, and I am happy with the ESRB and with the fact that it will issue warnings and take actions. However, one bit is missing from all this, and that makes it difficult to agree whether or not it makes sense. The regulatory framework for the derivatives, the default swaps and the counter-party risk—the technical regulation on the financial weapons of mass destruction—is not yet in place. Will the Minister explain how that will work within the context of the ESRB and the other bits of the architecture that she is describing? That is the missing piece; we do not yet have it.
