Banking Bill
1:00 pm

Mark Hoban (Shadow Minister, Treasury; Fareham, Conservative)
On a point of order, Mr. Gale. The order of consideration of the Bill has been varied to enable us to move on after the current provision to part 1. The purpose of reordering the order of consideration was to enable members of the Committee to have access to the code of practice referred to in clause 5 before the relevant date. The Economic Secretary to the Treasury said in the evidence session and at other points that the code of practice would be made available today. As of 10 minutes ago, I had not received the code of practice. I wonder whether it is the intention of Treasury officials to ensure that it is circulated.
