Westminster Launch of Responsible Credit Proposals


Invitation to the Westminster Launch of Our 'Responsible Lending' Proposals & AGM, Tuesday 23 October, London

Irresponsible lending in the US sub-prime mortgage market has now fed through into a 'credit crunch' for UK banks, causing upward pressure on mortgage and lending rates for all consumers. With increasing evidence of irresponsible lending practices in the UK, there has never been a better time to lobby for improved regulation of the financial services industry.

Following the success of our own responsible credit conference in Edinburgh in May, we will be launching a new set of proposals for action to MP's to address irresponsible lending practices at the Houses of Parliament on Tuesday 23 October (time tbc). A number of MP's from across the political spectrum, as well as agencies involved in our campaign will be speaking at the event.

The launch will be immediately preceded by a Campaign Forum and Annual General Meeting, 3 - 4:30pm at the Abbey Centre (behind Westminster Abbey at 34 Great Smith Street, London SW1P 3BU )

Please let us know if you are able to participate by emailing, faxing or posting back the form below.
