Oral Answers to Questions

Baroness Elliott of Whitburn Bay Excerpts

Monday 20th November 2017 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Security (Mr Ben Wallace)]

Like my hon. and learned Friend, I recently met a number of banks to discuss how they can help to keep people safe online. Barclays has done an extremely good job with its latest campaign, as has NatWest; I went to its launch today. The Government work closely with them in the joint fraud taskforce to make sure that we come up with joint responses and help each other fund tackling such problems.

[Julie Elliott (Sunderland Central) (Lab)]

T2. Will the Minister ensure that any scheduled repayments from Tyne and Wear Fire and Rescue Service do not have a negative impact on the residents of Sunderland and the wider Tyne and Wear area because of the constraint of the cap on the precept?

[Mr Hurd]

I am aware of this issue, and I am more than happy to have a meeting with the hon. Lady to give her the assurances she seeks.
