Clause 3 - Exemption relating to high net worth debtors and hirers
Consumer Credit Bill
9:15 am
John Battle (Leeds West, Labour)
I wonder whether I have come into the right Committee, because I noticed that, in a letter in last night’s Evening Standard, Tim Montgomerie said that
“the person who wins the crown of the Tory leadership will be the person who demonstrates a real heart for society’s most vulnerable people.”
Yet the first amendment we get to is about yachts and helicopters. Can the Minister assure me that this Bill is not the Bill to sort out Abramovich poaching players from other clubs and that it is not about that short-term money? I say to the hon. Member for Wealden that there are other ways in which rich people can get money to do the deals that they want to do. We ought to sort them out in other ways, not through this Bill.
