answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 26/03/2019 answer text <p>Investors affected by the failure of London Capital &amp; Finance (LCF) are unlikely to have access to the Financial Services Compensation Scheme (FSCS) in this case. However, it is for the FSCS to determine this as it is an independent body from both HM Treasury and the Financial Conduct Authority.</p><p> </p><p>The FSCS’ current assessment is that LCF’s activities are not FSCS-protected, which means LCF’s investors will not be eligible to claim for compensation from the FSCS.</p><p> </p><p>However, the FSCS is working closely with the administrators to understand more about LCF’s activities. If there are circumstances that give rise to potentially valid claims, the FSCS will begin to accept claims against LCF and communicate this on their website.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 26/03/2019 13:06:19 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
