Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]
My Lords, before we start the debate on the first group, I remind the Committee of the rules on declaring interests. Noble Lords should declare any relevant financial interest the first time they speak at each stage of a Bill. This means that, in Committ

We are about to move on to the last group of amendments and we have 35 minutes to go. I hope we can finish this group before we finish at 8.45 pm. If we do not, unfortunately we will have to break mid-group and reconvene on the same group on Wednesday, s

Noble Lords have made some very pertinent points. There is a great element of consensus in the Chamber today, and all the issues the noble Lord has just raised are ones we need to take into consideration. The consultation is already taking place. It ends

Face-to-face Banking Services
As far as rural banking is concerned, as I have said, 99% of the population are within three miles of a post office. We need to expand the role of banking hubs, but we also need to look at credit unions and at where we can display ATMs. We need to look a

Face-to-face Banking Services
The noble Baroness is absolutely right about the part of the Financial Services and Markets Bill that refers to credit unions. We want to expand the use of credit unions. About 1.5 million people across Great Britain use credit unions or financial co-ops

Face-to-face Banking Services
We do not want to see retail banking declining further. We need to take into consideration the changing way in which people use their banks. A lot of banking is now online, but a lot of people still need access to a banking hub, a bank on the high street

Face-to-face Banking Services
The noble Baroness makes a very valid point. We need to encourage the banks to look at what their customers require. Some 93% of the adult population who have a bank account do their banking online, while 26% of UK adults used a bank branch in the 12 mon

I refer back to the review that has taken place into access to banking services. We are encouraging small businesses, and the business sector that will use the review, to get involved with that consultation and raise the issues the noble Lord has mention

Face-to-face Banking Services
The noble Baroness raises a valid point. We must wait for the results of this review to see what it says. It is important that we have an enabling clause in the Financial Services and Markets Bill, and that we are able to implement the recommendations of

Face-to-face Banking Services
I thank the noble Lord for that question. We must take into consideration that 93% of adults now use online banking, but the Government still take access to face-to-face banking seriously. We have set a target of 350 banking hubs across the country throu

Face-to-face Banking Services
The Government are committed to ensuring that people who need face-to-face banking can continue to access essential services. Therefore, the Government have commissioned an independent review into access to banking services to assess whether the change i

Social Media Ban for Under-16s
These should be short interjections with questions, not statements, if the noble Lord does not mind.
I will certainly take that into consideration, but I think the powers are already there. The Secretary of State has powers for this. Obviously, when the energy Bill comes forward in a few months’ time, I think it will be debated then as well—thoroughly.
My Lords, I thank noble Lords for their comments and questions. It has been useful to hear what they have to say, and I am pleased that all sides agree with what we intend to do with this SI.
Two things come to mind: the first is that this is just an

That the Grand Committee do consider the Pollution Prevention and Control (Fees) (Miscellaneous Amendments) Regulations 2026.
I am not going to put a blanket ban on whether we are going to see a big increase. We anticipate that there will not be an increase as high as this year’s. We like to think that, in essence, it is a one-off because of the charges that we have been able t
The issue is twofold here. If we want a secure energy supply, we have to move away from fossil fuel and we have to do it gradually. We will be using the North Sea for fossil fuels for decades to come. We cannot talk about any issues around the Finch case
My Lords, I thank noble Lords and the noble Baroness for their questions on this. I will confront head-on the issue that is tangential to this whole debate, which the noble Lord managed to make a substantive point of in his speech. Obviously, I have know

I thank my noble friend Lady Nargund for introducing this debate, which is very important to the long-term future of the country. The contributions we have heard show that it is a very complicated issue which is determined not just by one factor. A lot o
