Parliament

The British Insurance Brokers' Association (Biba) has presented a petition of nearly 7000 member signatures to Parliament demanding the acceleration of the review into the funding of the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS).

Leaders of the long-term care (LTC) private sector have urged the Prime Minister, Deputy Prime Minister and Labour leader to work together to build a consensus on how to fund care.

MPs today rejected a bill which could have stopped the FSA increasing its regulatory fees above the rate of inflation.

The government will look to exempt small financial services firms from further regulation for three years when it writes new powers for the FSA's successor.

Just 16 MPs have signed an Early Day Motion (EDM) in Parliament calling for an immediate review of the FSCS.

MPs have proposed that GPs should share NHS commissioning duties with other representatives, alongside a number of other significant amendments.

Simplyhealth believes the government has failed to make its case for NHS reforms and that taking stock of public and health professionals' reaction will improve the amendments.

Rural communities risk being cut off from financial advice as their IFAs exit the industry under the weight of the RDR and levy hikes, MPs were told today.

It took George Osborne a little under one hour to deliver his second package of measures as Chancellor today.

MPs are calling for evidence from the industry after launching an inquiry into the level of financial education in primary and secondary schools.
