Proceeding contribution from Lord Sassoon (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 16 June 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Regulatory and Banking Reform.


Regulatory and Banking Reform

My noble friend makes some important points, which the independent commission has in the forefront of its thinking to resolve over the next few months. It is not that we have ruled out everything but that we have set up an independent commission. It came up with the ring-fencing proposal in its interim report and that is what my right honourable friend the Chancellor has endorsed, subject to the caveats included in the Statement. My noble friend’s points about how this is worked out in detail are some of the absolute correct ones.
