Proceeding contribution from Chris Leslie (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 4 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Finance (No. 3) Bill.


Finance (No. 3) Bill

I must correct the hon. Lady. I know that there is a review of sorts going on, but it relates to credit card lending and high bank charges on lending. The letter that my hon. Friend the Member for Walthamstow (Stella Creasy) received in May from the Under-Secretary said that the high-cost credit market"““was not specifically included in the call for evidence””" for the current review. That was what the letter of 25 May said—from the same Minister, incidentally, who refused to meet my hon. Friend. The Financial Secretary is far too relaxed about this issue, and the Government are not exercised enough about it.
