Had the motions been agreed, it would have been the equivalent of engaging in a banking inquiry without first doing the necessary preparation work. What is proposed is that the committee undertake the preparatory work first and then consider who it might be necessary to invite in. We are all aware of the conversation around people showboating and so on in a banking inquiry. What is proposed is that adequate research would be carried out before proceeding. The sub-committee needs to do its preparatory work first and then take the matter further.
