Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, these amendments reflect a number of important concerns about the proposed transfer of anti-money laundering supervision to the FCA. We do not believe that each of these points requires legislative commitment. However, we have also been made aw

My Lords, notwithstanding the anomalies that have been discussed—there are significant anomalies in insurance in England as well—we have some concerns about this amendment. It would hand the Treasury very extensive powers to act through secondary legisla

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, we take a different view on the Financial Ombudsman Service. Our position is that the present FOS model now requires more fundamental reform. We propose that the Treasury should publish draft legislation to replace the FOS with a new financial

My Lords, I will speak to Amendment 162 in the name of the noble Baroness, Lady Bowles—perhaps from the Liberal Democrat risk-transfer derivative desk. This amendment raises what seems to be a sensible and practical point about certainty in the treatment
