Financial Services Bill

My Lords, when the Minister reflects on our debates on this clause and on the official and unofficial meetings of the council—the quarterly meetings, which are strategic, and the interim ones, which are "operational", which I think was the Minister’s phrase—will he also reflect on the fact that knowledge that the council has met, knowledge which may well be spread abroad, while no minutes are being published, will have a far more destabilising effect than fessing up and explaining what is happening? If we are to have these meetings—some of which are to be minuted while others are not—people will draw the very worst conclusions from the meetings that are not minuted.
