uin	10466
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 09/10/2017 answer text <p>The Government supports the recommendation in the recent Financial Advice Market Review (FAMR) against the introduction of a fixed 15-year long-stop. A fixed 15-year long-stop is not in the interests of consumers as it could limit the protection available on long-term investment products, where consumers may not realise they have a cause for complaint for more than 15 years. It is important that consumers can seek redress where it is due, so that they have the confidence to engage with financial services firms.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 09/10/2017 15:49:13 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
