29 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 862)

In other sectors at the moment, given the volatility in global relations and the effective oligopoly that you have in some of these sectors, people are saying that it is a matter of economic security, and that we need to develop our own industries and products. Should that be a concern for Britain’s financial sector to

29 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 862)

You have made this clear distinction between primary and secondary objectives. It feels like that is a gentle pushback on the Government, who have been talking a lot about growth. You are trying to make sure that that is firmly relegated to the secondary and not the primary objective. Could you give some examples of th

You mentioned how some AI systems have been around in the sector for some time, so I am interested in how well equipped you feel you are to deal with this new interest in AI. I saw in the Bank’s survey that firms were saying that the key risks were “third-party dependencies, model complexity, and embedded or hidden ‘mo

I am not turning 60 soon.

We are going to go into the price cap a bit more, but, just finally, in some of our hearings we have heard very strongly that the 25% should be changed permanently to 20%. I am getting the sense that that is not something you would consider. Is that right? Are you ruling that out?

23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

Personally, I agree with that. The cap is quite high. You are talking about fairness and what the consequences are for choosing particular products. Some people might have, in good faith, chosen a product that was suitable for them and invested accordingly, but they are then getting hit with a withdrawal penalty becaus

23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

Just briefly, I want to ask about the interaction of the withdrawal penalty with the price cap. The price cap has not moved. Some people have commented on this. You aspire to save for a home and you think you are targeting a home that is within the price gap. You use the LISA product, but then house prices go up over t

23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

We have heard evidence saying that it is holding the product back. You will be aware that there are not so many people out there who are offering the lifetime ISA. One of the reasons why is that people feel that having this additional element means it is quite difficult to provide advice because you have two different

23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

We are also interested in your views.

23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

It is going to be quite a long hour if every question we ask about the LISA is going to depend on the report. Could you give us a bit of clarification?

32
23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

We have heard evidence on that as well.

23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

I will cut to the chase and ask you the most straightforward question. We have had a lot of evidence about LISAs. There are probably three options on the table, to our minds: we could keep it as it is, we could change it or we could abolish it. Are those the three options that are on the table for you? Are any of them

67
23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

So it could be abolished.

23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

Yes, basically.

23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

To fit the question that I asked, would you be happy to keep it as it is or will you need to make some changes?

25
23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

Can I go into one of the specifics, then—the hybrid element and the dual purpose of the product? In a previous Committee meeting, I shared that I had used the LISA to help me purchase my first home.

23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

The home is great. I left the 70p as a balancing figure in the account and have not touched it since. I am sad to report that I had it in the stocks and shares version and that is down to 63p now. That is a slightly separate issue.

49
23 Apr 2025Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 607)

Yes, exactly. The core point is that I have abandoned it since. From what we have heard in the inquiry, many other users have too. Will you be looking to improve or address the dual-purpose element?

2 Apr 2025 Adoption Breakdown

It is great to hear the Minister’s support for the fund, but this year it was allowed to expire before it was renewed. Can we have assurances that we will get much better notice next time about the renewal of the fund?

2 Apr 2025 Adoption Breakdown

I am grateful to my hon. Friend for giving way; the number of interventions he has taken shows how important this debate is to the House. I, too, have had adoptive parents come to my surgery who are going through a breakdown, and they have told me that their experience of adoption was better in the past because they us
