Proceeding contribution from David Davis (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 24 June 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Equitable Life.


Equitable Life

I am sorry to interrupt the hon. Gentleman's conclusion, but he made a comment earlier that may not be true. He said that it will cost more if the Government take a long time to deal with the issue. The very fact that he just mentioned a death rate of 15 a day—thousands a year—may mean that this gets cheaper over time. Would he ask the Minister how much is being saved as a result of the mortality rate of Equitable Life policyholders, so that we can know what the incentive to the Treasury is to take a long time over this?
