This will allow credit unions to make more loans to their members without making a loss. Even if they choose to charge the higher rate of interest the cost of borrowing from a credit union will still be significantly cheaper than many high cost lenders.</li></ul><p>The Government intends that these measures will help the credit union sector go from strength to strength, so it can be a viable option for financial services provision for an even wider range of consumers.</p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 06/05/2014 12:00:00 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom
