Government ducking its responsibilities to Equitable Life policy holders - Brooke
May 8, 2009 11:34 AM
Liberal Democrat MP for Mid Dorset and North Poole, Annette Brooke has signed a cross party EDM supporting Wednesday's further Ombudsman report into the Equitable Life fiasco.
The report, titled 'In Justice unremedied', criticises the response to a first report which found the Government guilty of maladministration in the regulation of Equitable Life and called for compensation for those who have suffered loss.
Commenting, Annette said:
"The Government has used every cynical trick in the book to duck its responsibilities to Equitable Life policyholders.
"The Ombudsman found evidence of both maladministration and injustice in the Government's regulation of Equitable Life, findings which ministers rejected without basis.
"30,000 people have already died waiting for a just resolution to the Equitable Life saga. Policy-holders should not have to wait any longer.
"The Government must accept the recommendations of the Ombudsman on compensating those who have suffered loss."
