We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to amend the Government's current proposals on compensation for Equitable Policyholders as has been requested by the 328 MP's who signed EDM 1423 entitled Parliamentary Ombudsman and Equitable Life Policyholders. More details
Submitted by Michael Read – Deadline to sign up by: 30 November 2009 – Signatures: 1,325
The 328 MP's who signed EDM 1423 asked the House to note that the Parliamentary Ombudsman had taken the very unusual step of using her powers under the 1967 Act (dubbed the nuclear option) of issuing a further and final report on Equitable Life. They said that the Government's response to the Parliamentary Ombudsman's earlier report was inadequate as a remedy for injustice and that the Government should accept the Ombudsman's recommendations on compensating policyholders who have suffered loss.
