Proceeding contribution from Andrew Love (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 January 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Equitable Life.


Equitable Life

I congratulate my right hon. Friend on her statement. I have two points. First, on the time scale, she has come up with what she describes as a simpler scheme. Does that mean that it will be quicker than that suggested by the ombudsman? Secondly, she said that hardship would be a significant criterion for compensation. Will she describe that a little more? Can she reassure those who have lost significant sums of money in Equitable Life that they will still be compensated?
