New Clause 5 - Regulatory impact
Consumer Credit Bill
4:45 pm
Mr Laurence Robertson (Shadow Minister, Economic Affairs; Tewkesbury, Conservative)
I, too, thank Mr. Benton and Sir John Butterfill who chaired the deliberations on Tuesday. I also thank my Colleagues and all hon. Members who have contributed to the spirit and detail of the discussion of the Bill. I thank the Minister for being very accommodating not just today, but during the entire consideration of the Bill. I look forward to further discussions with him about issues that have, to some extent, been left unresolved. It is unfortunate that we did not manage to get a goal past him.
I am reminded of an interview that Enoch Powell once did on Europe. The interviewer asked him: ''Mr. Powell, haven't you failed?'' He replied, ''Maybe failed, but I wasn't wrong.''
