Lords Grand Committee House of Lords

00:03 - 00:15
Speaker 2
The bells will ring and we will all scamper off and do our voting and come back.  So we go to the Grand Committee on the Financial Services and Markets Bill.  Before we begin, I understand the whip would like to make a few remarks. 
00:15 - 01:24
Speaker 4
Chair, just as usual, just want to make a couple of remarks as I have done over the last few five sessions.  I want to remind noble Lords that they should declare any relevant financial interest the first time they speak at each stage of the bill.  This means that in committee, relevant financial interest should be declared during the first group in which a noble Lord contributes.  The declaration does not need to be repeated on debate on later groups at this stage.  Declaration should be specific and brief. 

Members should briefly indicate the nature of their financial interest and not simply refer to their register of Lords' interests.  I also want to remind the committee again of guidance in the companion at paragraph 8.82 that when withdrawing amendments, noble Lords should be brief, need not respond to all the points made during the debate, and should not revisit points made when moving the amendment.  This applies to all members of the House, including the front bench.  A number of contributions last week were lengthy and I would encourage all participants to keep their remarks shorter in the spirit of the guidance.

Okay, so the question is that clause 39 stand part.  Baroness Neville-Rolfe.
