answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/09/2017 answer text <p>Treasury Ministers meet regularly with representatives from the insurance, mortgage and banking industries on a variety of issues. However, there have been no discussions of the effect that increased longevity might have on the terms and conditions for financial products. The terms and conditions of products are a commercial matter for firms. If firms’ terms and conditions are incorrect or could be misleading to consumers, this is a matter for the Financial Conduct Authority.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 15/09/2017 10:30:48 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
