Maiden Lane LLC refers to a series of special purpose vehicles (Maiden Lane I, II, and III) created by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York during the 2008 financial crisis. These entities were extensively discussed in U.S. Congressional hearings and oversight proceedings, though the term 'parliamentary record' more precisely applies to non-U.S. legislative bodies. The Congressional Record and committee hearing transcripts contain substantial documentation of these vehicles, particularly regarding the Bear Stearns rescue and AIG bailout. UK Parliament records contain limited references in the context of comparative financial regulation discussions.
