Regulatory and Banking Reform

"I have a couple of quick points on the ring-fencing proposal. Does what the Chancellor said last night mean that we have finally ruled out the idea of a complete split between investment banking and commercial banking? Secondly, does the Minister agree that for ring-fencing to work, the ring-fenced commercial …..."

Energy: Fourth Carbon Report

"My Lords, I am one of the growing group of people inside and outside Parliament who think that this whole policy is completely misconceived.
