I do not have time to discuss in detail the good work being done by the European Commission on the issue of bank resolution. This work forms the background to the legislation and I expect each of the 27 member states to produce similar legislation. The Commission is also working on a final solution, if one likes, whereby a single EU fund would be established to support resolutions for banks which find themselves in difficult circumstances. I commend the Bill to the House.
