Clause 19 - Unfair relationships between
Consumer Credit Bill
2:45 pm
Alan Reid (Shadow Minister, Trade & Industry; Argyll and Bute, Liberal Democrat)
I support the general thrust of the hon. Gentleman's argument, but I am concerned by the word ''significant'' in Amendment No. 12. The amendment states that the relationship will
''be regarded as unfair if . . . it causes a significant imbalance''.
I am concerned that that word would work too much in favour of the creditor. Will the hon. Gentleman explain why he included ''significant''?
