HELP FOR SAVERS

Early day motion 530, tabled 8 October 2013 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 20 members.

That this House recognises the ongoing financial difficulties faced by many working families throughout the UK; acknowledges that lower interest rates have assisted home buyers in recent years; understands that there are many more savers than mortgage holders across the nation, many of whom are senior citizens depending on the relatively low interest their savings provide to supplement their income; and calls on the Governor of the Bank of England to examine ways in which new products could be introduced and promoted to assist savers.

Signatures by party: DUP 6, Labour 5, Scottish National Party 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Alliance 1, Independent 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
