"Ms Natascha Engel: LAB - NORTH EAST DERBYSHIRETo ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps he is taking to ensure that benefit claimants and people in low incomes have ready access to regulated banking and loans services. (104885)
MR ED BALLS
The Government’s goal is to halve the number of people without access to a bank account. We have established a £120m financial inclusion fund for initiatives to promote access to banking, affordable credit and money advice; and an independent Financial Inclusion Taskforce to monitor progress. The Taskforce has recently reported to me that good progress is being made with the banking goal. I am pleased to be able to announce today two new members of the Taskforce – Bridget McIntyre, UK Chief Executive of Royal and SunAlliance, and Danielle Walker Palmour, Director of the Friends Provident Foundation.
