Clause 156
Banking Bill
1:00 pm
Roger Gale (North Thanet, Conservative)
Order. Those of you who have not experienced my chairmanship should know that I have an absolute golden rule. I am particularly aware that complex issues can arise from a clause and I am perfectly prepared to have a broad debate on tabled amendments at the start of the clause. What I am not prepared to do is allow such debate twice. Therefore, if hon. Members choose to discuss certain issues early on to make the tabled amendments make more sense, that is fine by me, but they should not then expect a stand part debate.
