	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 06/06/2019 answer text <p>The Treasury recognises that mortgage prisoners can be in a difficult and sometimes stressful situation. However, the servicer of these mortgages must be regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This means that customers are protected by the FCA’s principle of Treating Customers Fairly; their Mortgage Conduct of Business rules; and customers have recourse to the Financial Ombudsman Service.</p><p> </p><p>The Treasury has also worked closely with the FCA to consider how to remove the regulatory barriers that might prevent some customers from accessing better deals.</p><p> </p><p>The FCA are now consulting on changes that will move the required affordability assessment from an absolute test to a relative one. This will enable lenders to more easily accept switching consumers, providing they are up-to-date with repayments and are not borrowing more.</p><p> </p><p>The FCA consultation closes on 26 June 2019.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 06/06/2019 13:14:54 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/06/2017 answer text <p>The borrowing and lending of objects with European partners and touring of exhibitions and performances is an important part of a thriving arts and cultural sector. We are working with Her Majesty’s Revenue and Customs, Border Force, and organisations in the arts and museums sectors who regularly transport cultural objects to understand the current operating environment and what systems may need to be maintained or introduced. We want to have a new customs arrangement that continues to ensure cross-border movements are as smooth and frictionless as possible.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 30/06/2017 13:30:23 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 29/06/2017 answer text <p>The proposed European Accessibility Act does not have any specific provisions related to deaf or disabled artists, as distinct from other consumers. However the UK already has strong legislation in place to improve accessibility for disabled people across a range of sectors, and to provide protection from discrimination. This will be taken into account as we consider the impact of leaving the EU on all legislation that has effect in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 29/06/2017 13:11:36 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
