Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what representations he has received on differences in the (a) criteria used by the Financial Ombudsman's Service and Financial Services Compensation Scheme to determine cases and (b) determinations reached by those bodies.

Treasury Ministers and officials receive regular representations on a wide range of issues.

As was the case with previous Administrations, it is not the Treasury’s practice to provide details of all such discussions.
