Financial Services Bill

My Lords, I support the noble Lord, Lord Mitchell, and all those who put their names to the amendment. I hope very much that another government Ministry will support this amendment—the Ministry of Justice. Nowhere is the misery caused by these loan sharks felt more keenly than by the prison population and their families. The damage done to potential rehabilitation suggests to me that if the MoJ is serious about the “rehabilitation revolution” that it commends, it should support the amendment to the hilt.
