Proceeding contribution from Bob Blackman (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 November 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Equitable Life (Payments) Bill.

Equitable Life (Payments) Bill

I thank my hon. Friend for her intervention. The issues are complex, and the more one reads about and understands the scandal, the more difficult it becomes to resolve it. The Government in their wisdom have set out a compensation scheme that will continue for many years. The £1.5 billion is not a one-off payment that will go into a fund this year and end the matter. It will be spread over many years, and it will extend into the next Parliament.
