Proceeding contribution from Julie Kirkbride (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 June 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Equitable Life.
Equitable Life
The hon. Gentleman is right to say that some people have experienced considerable loss and that others have had less of a loss. Nevertheless, people have still lost an important income on which they were relying for their old age. The terrible thing about Equitable Life is that, in seeking to look after themselves in their old age, the 1.5 million policyholders were doing the right thing by themselves and for society, yet they have been very badly let down. That is why Parliament has to act.
