Consumer Credit Bill

My hon. Friend joins a long line of hon. Members who have tried to tease a definition of unfairness out of the Minister. Indeed, I made a speech in Standing Committee that cited extensive case law and judgments in a detailed definition of unfairness. The Minister said that the new definition in the Bill reflected the Government’s desire to tackle ““all types”” of unfair relationships. I made the point that the lack of further guidance leaves dissatisfied debtors in a very difficult position.
