I thank the Minister for giving way. He is being very interesting on the subject of the next banking reform Bill. May I take him through the timing? The powers in the 2008 Act relating to a failing bank expire on 21 February 2009. That is why everyone believed that the next Bill to replace the special provisions on a longer-term basis would be introduced before the beginning of the next Session, because in practical terms, especially given the likely timing of the Queen’s Speech, it is not possible to get through such a potentially contentious Act—it is certainly significant—any other way. Will the Minister clarify when the legislation is expected to see the light of day?
