uin	160732
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/03/2021 answer text <p>The Government is aware of the failure of Blackmore Bond plc and the latest report submitted by the Joint Administrators in December. Blackmore Bond plc issued non-transferable debt securities (sometimes known as mini-bonds). It is not a regulated activity for firms to issue their own non-transferable debt securities. However, in the UK, responsibility for regulating the promotion and marketing of mini-bonds lies with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).</p><p> </p><p>On 1 January 2021 the FCA made permanent rules banning the promotion of high risk ‘speculative illiquid securities’ (including some mini-bonds) to ordinary retail consumers. These rules were introduced in response to the failure of London Capital &amp; Finance and concerns about the suitability of speculative illiquid securities for retail investors. This ban prevents future companies like Blackmore Bond plc marketing their products to retail investors. The Treasury is currently undertaking a review into the regulatory framework for mini-bonds and will launch a consultation later this year on the regulation of non-transferable debt securities.</p><p> </p><p>In view of the FCA’s role as an independent non-governmental body it would not be appropriate for Government to comment on the FCA’s handling of Blackmore Bond plc. Investors who have concerns about the FCA’s handling of the failure of Blackmore Bond plc can make a complaint using the FCA Complaints Scheme.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen grouped question UIN 160731 160734 question first answered 04/03/2021 10:25:59 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 01/03/2021 answer text <p>Since 2017, Her Majesty’s Passport Office (HMPO) changed its processes so that the passport holder’s’ signature is no longer collected when a passport application is made. Where digital signatures are already held by HMPO, the customer will be able to continue with the online driving licence application process.</p><p> </p><p>The Driver and Vehicle Licensing Agency is currently developing a new system which will allow customers to upload their own signatures. This is due to be launched later this year.</p> answering member constituency Redditch answering member printed Rachel Maclean question first answered 01/03/2021 15:06:40 answering member 4668 label Biography information for Rachel Maclean
