Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will meet members of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Equitable Life to discuss the level of funding provided to victims through the Equitable Life Payment Scheme and the funds already allocated which have not yet been distributed.
Answered by John Glen - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office
Around £1.5bn has been allocated to the Equitable Life Payment Scheme, which closed to new claims in 2015. Whilst previous representations have been made in regard of further funding, there are no plans to reopen the Payment Scheme or to allocate further funds to it.
