Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Bim Afolami and Rebecca Long Bailey

Tuesday 6th February 2024 Commons Chamber

[The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (Bim Afolami)]

I thank my hon. Friend for his question and I will write to him with the specifics of the answer.

[Rebecca Long Bailey (Salford and Eccles) (Lab)]

T2. Many of my constituents whose lives have been destroyed by the loan charge scandal feel the central injustice is that the Government are focused on pursuing the victims rather than the companies responsible. They were dismayed to read recent allegations that individuals linked to such companies have donated hundreds of thousands of pounds to the Conservative party. Will the Chancellor confirm why exactly the Government are ignoring the providers and operators of the schemes? How many have been prosecuted specifically for their involvement in disguised remuneration, and not for other misdemeanours?
