Examination of Witnesses (Questions 40-41)

LORD MYNERS CBE AND MR STEPHEN PICKFORD

3 JUNE 2009

  Q40  Keith Hill: Finally, what are you hearing from the Bank and the FSA?

  Lord Myners: The Larosie"re thinking is very similar to the thinking of the Turner review. So I think the FSA are comfortable with the negotiating position that we are taking. Similarly, clearly, the Bank would be very supportive of the line we are taking on the fact that the Chairmanship of the new systemic entity should not be fixed permanently beyond this holder of the Presidency of the ECB.

  Q41  Chairman: Thank you very much, Lord Myners. We have come to the end of our questions. I did say there is an option that if you feel there are any matters we have not raised that you would like to put on the record before you go off to have a debate next week, you are free to do so.

  Lord Myners: Thank you, first of all; I hope it has been helpful. If, on reflection, there is something which I think would be helpful either that was not raised in questioning or where I could have (and I am sure it is the case on many occasions) given you a better answer than I did, it might be a more effective use of your time if I wrote rather than made a further statement now.

  Chairman: That is fine. If there are any matters that our excellent Clerk and advisers come up with I will write to you as quickly as possible. Thank you very much for your time; I think it has been most useful.
