Proceeding contribution from Mark Durkan (Social Democratic & Labour Party) 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

The Minister is in danger of asking the Committee to accept the notion that customer ignorance can be a legislator's excuse. That cannot be so. If the Minister is trying to say that what they did not know did them no harm, that is preposterous. They did not know, and they have suffered harm.
