To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the timeframe is for publishing the outcome of his Department's consultation on a policy proposal for the regulation of pre-paid funeral plans.
HM Treasury launched a call for evidence on the regulation of pre-paid funeral plans in June 2018. The call for evidence confirmed that consumer detriment is present in the pre-paid funeral plan sector and that there is broad demand for the sector to come under compulsory regulation.
Consequently, the government intends to bring the pre-paid funeral plan market within the remit of the Financial Conduct Authority and has consulted on the proposed legislative framework to implement this proposal. The consultation closed on 25 August and the government is currently reviewing the responses. A response to the consultation will be published in due course.

The government launched a call for evidence on the regulation of pre-paid funeral plans in June 2018, having concluded that the current framework of self-regulation is not sufficient to ensure the fair treatment of consumers, and a more robust regulatory regime is needed.
The call for evidence was launched in order to aid in the design of a more appropriate regulatory framework and noted that government’s initial preferred approach is to bring all funeral plan contracts into the scope of FCA regulation.
HM Treasury has now analysed the submissions to the call for evidence on pre-paid funeral plans and is currently reviewing the available policy options.
That this House recognises the dignity and solemnity the family of George Best demonstrated at his funeral in Belfast; and acknowledges the superb response the people of Northern Ireland and beyond offered during what has been widely recognised as a fitting tribute to someone whom many regard as the finest footballer ever to emerge from the United Kingdom.
