Since 2010, this Government has provided over half a trillion pounds in capital investment, increased investment in skills, and reduced taxes for businesses. Lower taxes provide a strong incentive for businesses to invest in raising their productivity. Tax cuts include reductions to business rates worth over £10bn by 2023, freezing fuel duty for 8 years running, increasing R&D tax credits, and cutting corporation tax. answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 11/09/2018 16:10:51 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

uin	171324
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>Government is aware that there have been examples of the mis-selling of packaged accounts and action has already been taken.</p><p> </p><p>The Government expects financial services firms to treat their customers fairly, according to the FCA’s Principles for Business. Where a customer feels this has not been the case, the Financial Ombudsman Service plays a valuable role in providing consumers with a swift and effective means of resolving disputes. An effective Ombudsman enhances consumer confidence. This is beneficial for financial markets and for the providers of financial services and products.</p><p> </p><p>In 2013, the FCA introduced new rules on packaged bank accounts. These were designed to help customers understand whether the product was right for them. Firms are now required to establish and record whether customers are eligible to claim for each of the insurances in the package. They are also now required to send annual statements, prompting customers to review their eligibility and whether the products continue to meet their needs.</p><p> </p><p>The FCA then conducted a thematic review of packaged bank accounts in 2016 and found that there were weaknesses in firms’ complaint handling procedures. The FCA then conducted a further review of these complaint handling procedures and published their findings in July 2017. They found that real improvements had been made, but made some further recommendations on how firms could improve their processes further.</p><p> </p><p>As with all financial services products, Government works closely with the Ombudsman and the financial services regulators to ensure that current legislation continues to protect consumers.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 11/09/2018 16:07:19 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
