LONDON (Reuters) - A parliamentary panel will on Tuesday join in the debate on why oil prices are at record levels above $145 a barrel and whether speculators have played a role.
The UK Treasury Committee will grill economists, executives from electronic exchange ICE Futures Europe (ICE.N: Quote, Profile, Research) and officials from the UK regulator the Financial Services Authority.
The hearing illustrates growing pressure on politicians to take action over record oil prices, which have caused protests from consumers around the world.
In the United States, there is already a raft of bills in Congress seeking to limit speculation in oil futures markets that some blame for driving up prices.
The U.S. commodity market regulator, the Commodity Futures Trading Commission, has taken steps to extend some of its rules to a contract in U.S. crude oil traded on ICE Futures Europe, which is regulated by Britain’s FSA.
“We have agreed to have U.S.-style regulation of that contract,” said a spokeswoman for the ICE. She said this still had to be approved by the FSA.
The CFTC rules would impose trading limits on the U.S. crude oil contract traded on ICE’s electronic platform.
This contract has been described in the United States as the “London loophole,” because it allows trading in U.S. crude oil futures to take place outside U.S. rules.
But some, including the International Energy Agency, see blaming speculators for high oil prices as an easy solution that avoids hard choices countries must make to boost supply or curb demand.
Others in the futures industry warn against interfering in markets.
“We need to be extremely careful about being drawn into knee jerk reactions based on populist politics,” said Anthony Belchambers, chief executive of the UK-based Futures and Options Association.
He warned against excluding legitimate financial interests from using futures markets, saying this would undermine their liquidity and make it difficult for commercial users to hedge.
Those giving evidence to the Treasury committee include: the chairman of ICE Futures Europe, Bob Reid, Chairman and Chief Operating Officer David Peniket and director of regulation, Dee Blake.
Also giving evidence before the panel chaired by Labour Member of Parliament John McFall will be the FSA’s markets division’s director, Alexander Justham, and Jonathan Hill, a technical specialist for commodities in the division.

LONDON (Reuters) - Private investors in Alliance & Leicester unnerved by the bank’s takeover by Spain’s Banco Santander can take some comfort from Santander’s purchase of UK lender Abbey four years ago.
Santander (SAN.MC: Quote, Profile, Research) shares have performed creditably since the Abbey deal completed, analysts said, and the Spanish bank — Europe’s second-biggest after HSBC (HSBA.L: Quote, Profile, Research) — has also won approval for its treatment of small shareholders.
”We have had some contact with Santander and one of the things they’ve been keen to do is to communicate with UK shareholders. I think they’ve been doing a good job in that regard,” said Roger Lawson of the UK Shareholders’ Association, a private investors’ lobby group.
”They seem to spend more time informing their small shareholders than many UK companies.”
Santander currently has 1.2 million private UK investors on its shareholder register, mostly Abbey customers who received free shares in the former mutual when it listed on the stock market in 1989.
About 400,000 former Abbey shareholders sold their Santander holdings after the cash-and-shares deal completed in Nov 2004. Many took advantage of a free dealing service set up by Santander in order to address the reluctance of some small investors to hold Spanish stock.
In a further effort to soothe these concerns, Santander acquired a secondary stock market listing in London in July 2005.
Santander’s 1.3 billion pound all-share offer for A&L (ALLL.L: Quote, Profile, Research), recommended by the British bank on Monday, looks set to expand this small shareholder base further.
The UK bank currently has a total of about 504,000 retail shareholders holding about 38 per cent of its equity, A&L said. The majority are private investors who were handed free shares in A&L when it demutualised in 1997.
Analysts add that Santander’s shares have outperformed those of the major UK banks in the past year, helped by its limited exposure to the sub-prime crisis, and by its strong presence in fast-growing emerging markets in Latin America.
”When a bank accounts for 10 per cent of the Latin American banking system, it is driven by very different economic metrics than a domestic UK lender,” said Magnus Mathewson at stockbroker Hichens, Harrison.
Small A&L investors should “take the Santander shares and keep them. It’s a very, very good bank,” Mathewson added.
Santander has escaped the worst of the sub-prime crisis in part due to Spain’s stricter regulatory constraints on banks’ investments in debt-backed securities.
