HC Deb 17 May 1989 vol 153 c234W
37. Mr. Dykes

To ask the Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster if he has received recent representations from United Kingdom banks, other financial institutions and credit-giving institutions in general concerning proposed regulations giving advice to borrowers on secured and unsecured loan obligations; and if he will make a statement.

Mr Maude

Draft proposals were recently circulated to credit trade associations, enforcement bodies and consumer organisations on amendments to the consumer credit advertisements regulations. These include a warning that a borrower's home is at risk if repayments are not kept up on a secured loan. Comments were invited by 28 April and these are under consideration.
