Clause 42 - Guidance on Requirements
Consumer Credit Bill
10:00 am
Mr Laurence Robertson (Shadow Minister, Economic Affairs; Tewkesbury, Conservative)
I am grateful for the Minister's explanation. I did say that mine was a technical amendment, although ''probing'' might have been a better word. I am grateful to my hon. Friend for his eloquent argument in favour of some degree of certainty that would lead to protection. I am concerned that people should contribute to the drawing up of the guidelines; not merely because I do not want the OFT to be too powerful, but because I want consumers and licensees to make a fair contribution. I am sure that the Minister will ensure that that is the case. Therefore, I beg to ask leave to withdraw the amendment.
Amendment, by leave, withdrawn.
Clause 42 ordered to stand part of the Bill.
