Financial Services Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Myners (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 5 December 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Financial Services Bill.

Perhaps I may also ask a question following that of the noble Baroness, Lady Kramer. The concept of interoperability is very important in the clearing of derivatives, so that corporates in particular can offset a position with one platform where they have a credit with another platform where they have a deficit. Will the Minister clarify that that involves a degree of mutualisation in the event of a failure of a platform because the failure of that platform will transfer to other platforms?
