New clause 4 - CHANGES IN CREDIT LIMITS
Consumer Credit Bill
6:15 pm
Alan Reid (Shadow Minister, Trade & Industry; Argyll and Bute, Liberal Democrat)
It has been a friendly Committee, at least until now, and we have had some interesting discussions. I shall not rise to the bait, Mr. Taylor, but simply thank you and your co-Chairman, Mr. Conway, for the efficient way in which you chaired our proceedings. I also thank the Minister; he may always have said no, but he never failed to give a full explanation and he always handled matters courteously.
The Bill is important for our constituents. As someone new to DTI business, I found our discussions interesting. The Committee certainly dealt with the Bill effectively and efficiently. We shall return to the one or two items that remain outstanding on Report. I am pleased that, as the Minister said, it will be on the statute book quickly.
Bill, as amended, to be reported.
Committee rose at twenty-six minutes past Six o'clock.
