Proceeding contribution from Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 14 December 2011. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Farepak.

Farepak

Does my hon. Friend agree that one of the problems highlighted is that the victims have been treated as unsecured creditors, so they are right at the bottom of the pile? The Office of Fair Trading report, which was published in December 2006 after Farepak collapsed, highlighted the problems with prepayments for funerals, holidays and mail order, but this case goes way beyond that. Has my hon. Friend had an opportunity to look at the scale of the problem?
