Proceeding contribution from Baroness Clark of Kilwinning (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bill on Financial Services Bill.
Financial Services Bill
What is different about this situation, however, is that often the reason for prepayment is that the person buying the product wants to purchase in that way because of their financial situation, and the person selling the product gets the financial advantage of holding that money for a period of time. I therefore cannot understand the Minister's point, in that at present the advantage is with the organisation selling the product. Does the Minister agree that we should be considering how to move towards a situation in which the consumer is able to pay in this way and get protection for the funds they have paid out?
