BLOG | A year today since @HMTreasury consulted on fixing the #NetPayAnomaly. It is time for action this budget so 1.5m low earners – 75% of them women - no longer miss out on #PensionsTaxRelief #EaseTheSqueeze

Unless the UK government provides more legal campsites, its plans to toughen up crime legislation could pose an existential threat to the Gypsy, Roma and Traveller way of life and breach their human rights, writes @ming_alexandra https://t.co/kkgPy0jWdT

The Green Technical Advisory Group should be based on scientific expertise, work transparently and not be swayed by vested interests in order to avoid greenwashing. 2/2

This would be significant, as the FCA would have a better oversight of the closed book owners of mortgages and could better supervise how consumers are treated.

This week has been a big one for mortgage prisoners. The Lords defeated the Government and passed an amendment that would require the FCA to introduce a cap on SVR charges to mortgage prisoners in closed books. Why is this big news?

[Maria Busca @MariaBuscaMB]

The Bill will soon return to the Commons, and since the Government did seem to follow the LSE study recommendations, there is a real chance that they now might change its view on expanding the perimeter.

[Dods Group @DodsGroup]
