My Lords, my Amendment 81 in this group addresses a single issue. There is no possible way that the Small Business Commissioner can achieve his or her purpose without a strong whistleblowing framework incorporated into the office.

Domestic Travel and Holidays: Visitor Levy
My Lords, we support devolving more economic power to local areas, but any visitor tax must come alongside vital relief for a sector that is already struggling under the Government’s NIC hikes, which happened not so very long ago. So, will the Government
My Lords, these allegations, if accurate, would represent a shocking breach of public trust by an organisation now owned directly by the Government. But it also demonstrates a failure of the current whistleblowing framework that, to be heard and to have
My Lords, mini-tenders, even by firms otherwise authorised by the FCA, fall below the FCA’s regulatory threshold. In the future, can the Financial Ombudsman require remedy for an investor caught in a mini-tender bait and switch, or do the clauses in the

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
I have one question for the noble Baroness, as my noble friend Lord Sharkey will speak for us on this. What will the cost be to the individual of going to the tribunal system? I am conscious that an individual needs to raise between £40,000 and £50,000 t

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, this group originally preceded the one we just debated. I noticed the change this morning. My points in this group on ring-fencing are quite narrow. I am not particularly happy about the changes in Clauses 39 and 40, but I do not feel strongly

My Lords, I suspect that nobody in this Room would not speak out very strongly in favour of financial education and that, in this House, we would be really grateful if there were some capacity for it, particularly in the ever-changing world that we are d

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am going to be brief again: these are very interesting amendments. The breadth of the amendments put before us by the noble Lord, Lord Holmes, gives us a sense of the extensive work that must be done, right across the plumbing of the entire f

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, we on these Benches in large part support the amendments in this group, with a few caveats. It is important to emphasise the frustration that we do not have today, and do not seem to see in the near future, that comprehensive regulatory framewo

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I thought the Committee might like to be reminded why such a radical step as ring-fencing was taken after the 2008 financial crisis. It was in part because, in a universal bank encompassing both retail and wholesale banking, failure in the inve

My Lords, I will speak briefly. As the Committee will know, I have expressed before my concern about heading towards a lowest common denominator. The constraints on the engagement of the regulator and Parliament in a process of recognition of overseas re

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am always in favour of trying to provide streamlining, and this amendment offers a common-sense approach to that. However, an issue that I want to take up with the noble Baroness, Lady Neville-Rolfe, is that the focus of the FCA should always

My Lords, I cannot improve on the three speeches that have been made. I rise simply to make clear that on these Benches, we think that this amendment is really important.

My Lords, the noble Lord, Lord Mackinlay, makes so much sense to me on this issue. Having gone through the struggles of probate, I think that anything that will make it easier and more straightforward is good. I have worried since the announcement of the

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I was delighted when I saw that the noble Lord, Lord Holmes, had put down these amendments, because it is so apparent, as he has clearly stated, that the whole issue of digital and AI is missing from this Bill. Because of the pace of change and

Employment Tribunals
My Lords, the House will know that I do not believe that whistleblowing cases belong in the employment tribunal, but that is where they are. Does the Minister recognise that the cost of going to tribunal is a minimum of £50,000 for a primary hearing, and

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, I am absolutely delighted with these two amendments from the noble Lord, Lord Holmes. To begin with Amendment 126, I have long been, as he has, a real supporter of open banking and see the potential for it to expand into open finance, and have

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
Can I just check whether it is looking through the lens of treating financial stability as only a “have regard”? Is that what the Minister is saying? The amendment says “considering”. It is a “have regard” statement.

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
I probably have a right to reply, because it is Committee and we can speak more than once. The noble Lord, Lord Bridges, and I often find a whole lot of common ground, and I agree completely that the environment in which SMEs are operating is extremely d
