<p>There are currently 429 active credit unions in the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>Neither
HM Treasury, the Prudential Regulation Authority nor the Financial Conduct Authority
collect information on the affiliation of credit unions to faith groups. It is therefore
not possible to provide the number of credit unions affiliated to faith groups in
the United Kingdom.</p><p> </p><p>The Government is, however, aware of the strong
links between certain faith communities and credit unions. I was pleased to take part
in a roundtable recently hosted by one such credit union, the Pentecostal Credit Union,
to discuss issues facing its members.</p><p><strong> </strong></p>
