Financial Services Bill

Debate between Lord Skelmersdale and Lord Davies of Oldham

Wednesday 24th October 2012 Lords Chamber

[Lord Davies of Oldham]

I beg to move.

[Lord Skelmersdale]

My Lords, as an observer of this scene, it is clear to me that my noble friend Lord Sassoon has said that he will take into consideration the two amendments in the name of the noble Lord, Lord Davies of Oldham, and bring something back—whether it is a total positive or a half positive, we do not yet know—at the next stage of the Bill. Therefore, it would be appropriate if the noble Lord would also withdraw this amendment.

[Lord Davies of Oldham]

My Lords, I apologise to the House. I am sure that the noble Lord is absolutely right and that I got lost in my cricketing batting average. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
