Banking Bill

The previous intervention was very apposite because it referred to the private process of briefing those in the financial sector on their behaviour. The importance of privacy in these matters was drawn to my attention when I looked at the article on bank capitalisation by the shadow Chancellor's colleague, the hon. Member for Chichester (Mr. Tyrie); it appeared rapidly to have succeeded a meeting that the shadow Chancellor held with the Governor of the Bank of England on confidential terms. Can the shadow Chancellor assure us that he did not brief the hon. Member for Chichester for the basis of that article following that meeting?
