Financial Services Bill

The public are of course concerned about the objectives. That is bound to be the case with the important work of the council but process is a different matter. The case has not been made out that the public have a great interest in the process by which the council concludes its deliberations and how it has acted in those terms, or that it would advance the cause of intelligent decision-making if that was part of the Bill. That is why I object to the two amendments.
