High-cost Credit

Debate between Justin Tomlinson and Baroness Primarolo

Thursday 5th September 2013 Commons Chamber

[Justin Tomlinson (North Swindon) (Con)]

I welcome much of what is being said, but I have a word of caution. An unauthorised overdraft in a mainstream bank is equivalent to 80,000% APR. We may not want to signpost people towards that.

[Madam Deputy Speaker (Dawn Primarolo)]

Order. Before the hon. Member for Islwyn (Chris Evans) concludes his remarks, I gently remind him that the recommended period for opening a debate is 10 to 15 minutes and he has now had 19 minutes. I appreciate that he has taken interventions.
