answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 28/11/2023 answer text <p>The UK, alongside the G20 and Paris Club, expects creditors, including private creditors, to participate in debt restructurings on comparable terms. This is a fundamental principle of the G20 Common Framework.</p><p> </p><p>At this stage, the Government is not pursuing a legislative approach that would force private or other lenders to participate in debt restructurings. The Government is focused on delivering a market-based (contractual) approach to private sector participation, including taking the lead in developing Majority Voting Provisions for private syndicated loans. These promote more efficient restructurings and reduce the ability for creditors to hold out.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami grouped question UIN 2704 question first answered 28/11/2023 11:37:23 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami

However, we recognise this is a concerning time for mortgage borrowers.</p><p> </p><p>The path to lower interest rates is through low inflation. The independent Monetary Policy Committee continues to have the Government’s full support as it takes action to return inflation to target. The Government’s Mortgage Charter - in addition to the significant safeguards already in place - is providing support to vulnerable households; and mortgage arrears and repossessions remain low.</p><p> </p><p>Over the last two years, the Government has demonstrated its commitment to supporting the most vulnerable by providing one of the largest support packages in Europe. Taken together, support to households to help with the high cost of living is worth £104 billion over 2022-25 - or £3,700 per UK household on average.</p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami question first answered 27/11/2023 15:32:14 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami

Under this regime, financial promotions communicated by a firm not authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) must be approved by an FCA-authorised firm, unless the promotion is otherwise subject to an exemption. The Government has worked with the FCA to introduce a financial promotions gateway which gives the regulator greater oversight of the approval of financial promotions and reduces the number of authorised firms able to undertake such approvals.</p><p> </p><p>The provision of financial advice is an FCA regulated activity. HM Treasury works closely with the FCA to ensure that this market works fairly for both firms and consumers, and that the advice being provided is of high quality.</p><p> </p><p>The Government has also established the Money and Pensions Service to provide free, impartial money and pensions guidance directly to consumers online and by telephone.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami grouped question UIN 3066 question first answered 27/11/2023 15:30:14 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami
