Financial Services Bill: House of Lords committee stages

This note summarises the Lords’ committee proceedings on the Financial Services Bill. Particular emphasis is given to accounts of government amendments to the Bill. Not all non-government amendments are mentioned, many such amendments were first raised during the Commons committee stages. An account of these can be found in Research Paper 12/23.

The note is organised largely, but not entirely, in a chronological basis. The narrative is not entirely sequential because government and non-government amendments have been treated separately to enable changes made to the Bill by the Government to be more easily located.
