Proceeding contribution from Chris Leslie (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Financial Services Bill.


Financial Services Bill

There might well be a case for that, but we are talking about people's homes and the roofs over their heads. Repossessions can seriously hurt people, especially if they were unable to anticipate the situation because of a shock or unpredicted changes to their interest rates. As I have said, this point in the cycle is the right time to make this sort of change. It is about preparedness and information for home owners, and I feel strongly that we ought to have that in statute. If the Minister does not agree, this is certainly one of the issues on which we want to test the will of the House.
