Written question asked by Baroness Goudie (Labour) on Monday, 1 October 2018, in the House of Lords. It was due for an answer on Tuesday, 16 October 2018. It was answered by Lord Bates (Conservative) on Tuesday, 16 October 2018 on behalf of the Treasury.
Pre-payment
- Question
-
To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they will conduct a review of providers of pre-payment plans, and of the sales practices of such providers, with a view to appropriate regulation of this sector.
- Answer
-
I have interpreted this question as relating to the pre-paid funeral plan market. The government launched a call for evidence into the regulation of the pre-paid funeral plan market in June 2018, having concluded that the current framework of self-regulation is not sufficient to ensure the fair treatment of consumers. We are currently reviewing the submissions and a response will be published in due course.
