Proceeding contribution from David Mowat (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Financial Services Bill.


Financial Services Bill

I completely agree with my hon. Friend's comments about MF Global and the fact that we did not learn quickly enough the lessons of that or of Lehman. Is there not one major aspect, however, that the Bill does not address particularly well, perhaps because it cannot: the fact that the regulation of such firms must mirror their organisational structure, which is international? Neither the FCA nor the PRA, nor any other regulatory body, can do that without much more effort being made.
