All Party Group autumn programme tackles a wide range of issues

As the political parties' autumn conference season gets underway, we can look forward to plenty of interest in Parliament for the financial services sector in the autumn. The government will press on with its plans to strengthen the tripartite regulatory system, the Equality Bill will head for the statute book (although there are rumours that Lord Mandelson thinks it should be dropped because it is "unfriendly" to business), there may be some compensation offered to Equitable Life policyholders and the penalties for uninsured drivers could be extended. A diverse range of issues and many of those will be reflected in the autumn programme for the All Party Parliamentary Group on Insurance & Financial Services.
