Financial Services Bill

I am familiar with the arguments that the noble Lord reflects in his contribution, and it is correct that I am rereading his memoirs. He quoted in Second Reading from something which appears quite early, in chapter 32, of his memoirs. This weekend, I saw a reference to an editorial which the noble Lord had written as a youthful editor of the Spectator. He had given guidance on a situation in which even the readers of the Spectator might have concluded that a change from a Conservative Government might have been the appropriate action. I will be digging in my archives to see if I can find this. I see a look of puzzlement on the face of the noble Baroness. If I misread the Coffee House blog, as produced by the Spectator, I will not be able to find the article which the blog attributes to the noble Lord.
