A video recording of the session, which lasted for just under 2 hours, is available here and a transcript will soon be available here. The Guardian newspaper has reported some of Mr Volcker's comments, particularly with regard to the efficacy of ring-fencing: see here. The Commission has also published a call for evidence in respect of its pre-legislative scrutiny of the draft Financial Services (Banking Reform) Bill published by the Government late last week: see here.
