Proceeding contribution from Mike Weir (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 21 October 2009. It occurred during Opposition day on Equitable Life.


Equitable Life

Can the Chief Secretary answer me on a matter of principle? The Government have gone for an ex gratia scheme, but I do not understand why, if other people have lost out owing to maladministration, they should be excluded from compensation. The Government have, in effect, entered into a means-testing arrangement for policyholders in Equitable Life.
