Financial Services Bill

Proceeding contribution from Ed Balls (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Financial Services Bill.
Without wanting to disrupt too much the Chancellor's political narrative, I ask him to remind the House of the regulatory structure and of who was in charge of regulation during the scandals involving the Bank of Credit and Commerce International, Barings, Equitable Life and Johnson Matthey. Were those scandals all the result of the tripartite structure, or might some of them have preceded it, at a time when the Bank of England had the lead on banking and financial regulation?
