Financial Services Bill

Does my hon. Friend agree about another problematic element in the shadow Chancellor's speech? He referred to the sensible action by some of the people he spoke to, in their giving some kind words to his thoughts, in the possible prospect of the hon. Gentleman being in a position to deliver a package of change in the future. Those in the FSA in particular may well be considering carefully how to position themselves in relation to the Opposition party and may at least be putting forward some words of insurance because of the circumstances that might develop next year, although my hon. Friend and I would join many others in wishing that that does not happen.
