Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 29 March 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Consumer Credit Bill 2005-06.


Consumer Credit Bill

I understand the hon. Gentleman’s point. I am sure that examples could be given, but I would not want them written into the Bill because it is important that the OFT is given the flexibility to deal with dynamic situations that can move quickly. People who indulge in such practices find inventive ways of dragging people into such schemes. The Minister’s approach is sensible and I strongly support it.
