Business question from Jim Devine (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 7 December 2006. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Can my right hon. Friend find time for a debate about credit companies, especially Provident Personal Credit, which is targeting hard-working families who were caught up in the Farepak scandal? It suggests that they should make their Christmas more affordable, but charges a typical APR of 177 per cent. It is time that we put a cap on such companies, because that is nothing but legalised theft.
