Proceeding contribution from Neil Parish (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Financial Services Bill.
Financial Services Bill
Yes, I do. Many people in the banking sector would probably disagree, but I believe that anything over 50% is far too high. It is obscene and immoral to allow companies to go on charging vast amounts of interest—I do not care who they are—and that is why we have to take action. I am looking to the Government to do so, not only through legislation but through stating that such companies should clearly set out their rates of interest and the consequences of non-repayment, so that our constituents can take advantage of credit that is competitive and that will not ruin them.
