PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PARTY AND FINANCIAL SERVICES AND MARKETS BILL (6 December 1999)

That this House notes that no representatives for the Liberal Democrat Party have played any role in the proceedings on the Financial Services and Markets Bill since 26th October and that their attendance before then had been at best 'patchy'; further notes that the role of the honourable Member for Twickenham as the representative of the Liberal Democrat Party from this House on the Pre-Scrutiny Burns Committee on the Bill was virtually non-existent; and is concerned that the Liberal Democrat Party is not taking seriously, or contributing to, the scrutiny of, this important and complex piece of legislation which will have an enormous influence on the whole financial services industry in the United Kingdom.
