Speeches by Glen.

“It was when I was a Minister, sorry, which was a long time ago. You cite, quite rightly, that you have a new banks unit, and new banks being set up, but we still see in the UK a very small number of banks having a massive share of domestic banking, and a long tail that fit within your Strong and Simple regime, which ho…”

“Excuse me for interjecting, but is it not that what usually happens is that they buy out a little start-up with a new functionality and then apply it to their app? Essentially, they take out the maturing of an alternative platform or entity.”

“I join Members across the House in condemning this act of terrorism. The hon. Gentleman will know that his party’s manifesto pledged to pursue a new strategic partnership with India. I welcome that, but could he explain to the House what steps are being made in regard to that pledge? It will be by concerted diplomatic …”

“Every time I come to this House, I stand underneath the plaque for Jo Cox, and I look over at the plaque for David Amess. It seems impossible that within 10 years, two of our colleagues could have been murdered. I am grateful to my right hon. Friend the Member for Rayleigh and Wickford (Mr Francois) for raising this qu…”

“I totally respect and recognise the sensitivity around making any announcements today, but it is widely thought that there could be a move away from exclusive cash ISAs into more equity-based products. I personally would welcome that. Can I just pick up on the issue that you have mentioned, Minister, about the capacity…”

“I certainly recognise the complexity and the tough decisions you have to make. Can I just ask one question about the interaction between the potential ISA reforms, with all the caveats that you have mentioned, and the lifetime ISA? Clearly, each has a different set of advantages. One is an envelope for £20,000 at the m…”

“If it is a lifetime ISA, it conceivably could start much earlier. It could start before the age of 18.”

“You do not see it fusing with that or moving back?”

“It is just whether you simplify and have one that is an enduring advantage.”

“There are several of us here.”

“He wrote it.”

“He was disappointed with George Osborne’s implementation of it because the pensions industry got to him.”

“Ms Webster, you have mentioned the self-employed. The original intent was that the 25% bonus would provide an alternative vehicle for pension savings for the self-employed. To what extent is this review looking at that cohort and the failure of the pensions regime to deal with, despite auto-enrolment, the savings profi…”

“I am talking about the interaction between the two. The truth is that this has a bearing on that for the self-employed. Do you have any observations about how you bring out the relevance of this product for the self-employed in the context of their pension provision?”

“Is it reasonable to assume that this LISA is a suitable vehicle for a certain cohort of pension savers?”

“There was.”

“In effect, though, for basic-rate taxpayers the bonus really gave the effect of exemption on entry, because it was effectively EEE.”

“You can just about make it if you survive until August 2029.”

“Q13. Through the ages, an innovative and vibrant City of London has underpinned investment and growth in the wider economy, but the main challenge the City currently faces is how to get more capital into capital markets. Like many, I believe that London could gain new momentum if the Government took bold action to chal…”

“The Minister is setting out a thorough analysis of the challenge that he faces. Could he say something about the distinction between existing entities and those that are yet to be set up? One of the concerns is that the Government’s legislation will not deal fully with existing arrangements, and that the none of the ca…”
