HC Deb 02 November 2001 vol 373 c882W
Mr. Wiggin

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer what considerations underlay the policy of the FSA and the Treasury on informing Equitable Life insurance policy holders on the sufficiency of funds within the with-profit fund to cover guaranteed annuity rate liabilities. [7315]
