Did you notice that the first six questions to Paul Tucker, Deputy Governor of the Bank of England, at Monday’s parliamentary Treasury Committee evidence taking about the Libor rate fixing scandal, were about records (or the lack of them):

Governance and technology: are these the twin tracks for the very model of a modern records manager?
Does our profession need a code of ethics? Not that one stopped wrong doing among journalists, MPs and bankers (twice) but it would be a point of reference.
