Mr. Battle

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will seek to assess the Financial Services Act 1986 to include the sale of mortgage protection policies.

Mr. Nelson

I have no plans to extend the range of insurance products which fall within the scope of the Financial Services Act 1986.

Mr. Battle

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what steps his Department plans to take to encourage the development of mortgage protection policies for borrowers.

Mr. Nelson

The Government believe that the development of mortgage protection policies is a matter for the insurance market.
