answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 18/09/2017 answer text <p>The government established an independent Financial Policy Committee (FPC) and gave the FPC a primary objective to identify, monitor and take action to remove or reduce systemic risks with a view to protecting and enhancing financial stability. The FPC’s June 2017 Financial Stability Report (FSR), assesses recent trends in the consumer credit market, including dealership car finance and personal contract purchase (PCP) agreements. The FSR notes that PCP agreements have been growing rapidly, from around three-fifths of new car purchases financed through dealership car finance in 2011 to four-fifths in 2016, but that arrear rates on dealership car finance are generally lower that other forms of consumer credit.</p> answering member printed Lord Bates question first answered 18/09/2017 11:55:19 answering member 1091 label Biography information for Lord Bates
