Speaking in the House of Lords on 4 November 2024

Debate

Bank Resolution (Recapitalisation) Bill [HL]

Contribution

That approach would have the additional advantage of dealing with the question of unexpected costs, such as legal actions—the point made earlier by the noble Baroness, Lady Noakes—taken against the failing institution. If only the business and assets were transferred, that would reduce the risk of such actions and increase the certainty of the outcome of the resolution. That could be achieved in the code of practice.
