Proceeding contribution from Chris Leslie (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 15 December 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Loans to Ireland Bill.


Loans to Ireland Bill

I just want to pick up the hon. Gentleman's point that if there is nothing to report there is no need to have any reports. I believe that it would be of interest to the House if, even when no payments were made, a report were still produced to set out that fact. That might seem a small point but, for example, in the unlikely event that default became an eventuality, the lack of a payment being received might be of interest. That was also part of the rationale behind deleting subsection 4(a) and (b).
