Credit Institutions and Investment Firms

I am fascinated by my hon. Friend's line of argument, because she has raised the question of commercial states' rights, which are embedded in the American constitution—they are inviolable. Countries in the EU have no such rights. When legislation at EU level goes through—this is why I so strongly attack and resist the idea of transfer of jurisdiction to that level—we are required under the 1972 Act to implement the law. We do not have commercial states' rights.
