Financial Services Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chris Leslie (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Financial Services Bill.

The problem is the threadbare nature of the memorandum of understanding, particularly the infamous paragraph 20, which says:

“However, the Chancellor and the Governor may agree to establish ad hoc or standing committees.”

That is so thin that it is important for the oversight committee to make it a top priority to ensure that there is preparedness and that it is thinking through the circumstances in which a crisis may occur, and that needs to be placed explicitly in the Bill.
