Proceeding contribution from Sheila Gilmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 6 February 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Financial Services Bill.


Financial Services Bill

Although it is widely believed that regulation for the poorest is particularly important, those of us who have witnessed the kind of financial failure that so many people have had to put up with are aware that it is important not just to the poorest, but to a number of those with reasonable incomes. Our Work and Pensions Committee has been discussing pension auto-enrolment. One of the fears expressed was that people would not want to save because they did not trust the financial services industry. If we want people to save properly we must ensure that they feel that trust, and it could be re-created through proper regulation.
