Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]

Lord Wilson of Sedgefield Excerpts

Committee stage
Monday 6th July 2026 Grand Committee

[Baroness Noakes (Con)]

Not content.

[Lord in Waiting/Government Whip (Lord Wilson of Sedgefield) (Lab)]

I put on the record that parliamentary counsel has advised that this amendment and all the other government amendments in this group are all technical amendments. If the noble Baroness’s objection is based on the fact that she believes that an all-Peers letter should have been sent for a handful of technical amendments, then that is not normally the case. However, if she wants to object, we will not move them.

[Baroness Noakes (Con)]

The Minister and I had a meeting on this last week, so I am surprised that he is raising the issue today. I notified on Friday that I would be continuing the line that I had taken on the first Committee day.

--- Later in debate ---

[Baroness Noakes (Con)]

Not content.

[Lord Wilson of Sedgefield (Lab)]

Can I just ask the noble Baroness, Lady Noakes, on that basis—parliamentary counsel has advised that these are technical amendments, and therefore that Peers’ letters do not need to be sent out—does she not agree with the parliamentary counsel?

[Baroness Noakes (Con)]

I am merely keeping to what I said on the first Committee day.
