Speeches by Baldwin.

“So you expect there to be someone designated within six months?”

“Would you expect that in a year’s time there will be any critical third parties in our financial system?”

“So you would have to be triggered by that? You could not initiate it?”

“Have you received any so far?”

“Are you currently undertaking any assessments?”
