Consumer Rights Bill

Proceeding contribution from Justin Tomlinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 May 2014. It occurred during Debate on bills on Consumer Rights Bill.

Obviously, I support the principles being expressed here. The key thing is that the vast majority of consumers would not be able to calculate the total cost with an APR—even Treasury Ministers would struggle to do that—which is why it is so incredibly important to have everything displayed in cash terms. That is the simplest form for any consumer, allowing them to make an informed decision.
