Compensation Bill [HL]

It may be for the assistance of the Committee also if the Minister were to give a little further detail about her determination to introduce transparent charging and a number of other provisions. She will be aware, particularly so far as concerns the endowment alleged mis-selling scandal, that all the claims will have been processed and the commission taken by these companies within the next 12 to 18 months. It is unlikely that the regulator will be in place by that time. Will the Minister at least consider whether there is any way that provisions, which would I am sure meet with the agreement of the Committee, on the transparency of charges and a number of other key issues, might be put in the Bill so that they have immediate effect?
