Proceeding contribution from Andrew Miller (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 June 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Consumer Credit Bill.


Consumer Credit Bill

I want to reflect on the exchange that my hon. Friend had with my right hon. Friend the Member for West Dunbartonshire (Mr. McFall) because a solution can be found with the industry. The savings sector of the industry publishes some very good, transparent information on websites and so on that helps people to make judgments about savings. A discussion between my hon. Friend’s Department and the industry could achieve a vehicle to produce similar mechanisms to provide information to the consumer, perhaps using a web-based tool, thus making such things transparent and open for everyone.
