Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
I have a question for the noble Lord, Lord Davies. My understanding of the principles is that they sit at the top, and the rules are derived from them. But this is a focus on the rules, so it is only as derived. I do not know, and we will get an answer.

For absolute clarification, “fair and reasonable” must be interpreted by the FOS as a standard that is met if there is compliance with FCA rules. I just want to understand because we can then go back historically and see where FCA rules might not have be

Can the Minister clarify something? Is he saying that, provided you comply with an FCA rule, you are then always fair and reasonable? That is what I am taking away from this. I can list so many examples, such as Libor and mini-bonds—all kinds of things—w

I would just like to clarify this. Is the Minister saying in effect these powers are going to be one time only? Is that the implication?

My Lords, there seem to have been two themes in today’s discussion; I will address both because I agree with them both.
