Financial Services Bill

Proceeding contribution from Alun Cairns (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 23 April 2012. It occurred during Debate on bills on Financial Services Bill.
I fail to understand the logic of the hon. Gentleman's argument. If someone's financial position at the time they take out a mortgage is relatively precarious, they probably should not have the mortgage. Furthermore, to take the logic to the next step, surely a fixed rate product would be better for those people and they should not have been on the variable rate product in the first place, so why on earth are we asking banks through additional regulation to make such predictions when it is meaningless in the reality of life?
