Finance (No. 3) Bill

"The hon. Gentleman just referred to senior nurses. I was a nurse some 18 months ago. I was part-time, because I was a councillor, but had I been full-time I would have been on about £29,000. So can he explain where the figure he gave comes from?..."

Written Question
Personation
Tuesday 11th September 2018

Asked by: Karen Lee (Labour - Lincoln)

Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment his Department has made of the adequacy of the service provided by the Financial Ombudsman Service to victims of identity fraud.

Answered by John Glen

The Government recognises that it is vitally important that the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS) is accountable for the performance and quality of its work. The FOS answers to a Board of Directors, appointed by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), and must make a report each year on the discharge of its functions.

Whilst the FOS can investigate a range of complaints, it may not be able to consider some complaints involving identity fraud if these fall outside of its jurisdiction, which is set out in the FCA’s Dispute Resolution (DISP) rules.

The Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) provides guidance to victims of identity fraud on its website.

Tuesday 24th April 2018

Asked by: Karen Lee (Labour - Lincoln)

Answered by Mel Stride - Shadow Chancellor of the Exchequer

Guidance on the VAT treatment of loans and other credit is set out in “VAT Notice 701/49: finance”, available on the gov.uk website. As provided for in the VAT Act 1994, the guidance sets out that loans and grants of credits are exempt from VAT.

"This Budget offered the majority of my constituents very little hope, and hope is what is missing in our society. I am not talking it down; the grim truth is that our economy has flatlined. The cut in stamp duty is of no use to my constituents on low wages …..."
