He emphasised the Government's acceptance of Dame Elizabeth Gloster’s report and its commitment to compensating those affected by LCF collapse and pension liberation fraud.

He questioned the Minister about whether the FCA has the powers and capacity necessary to protect consumers after Dame Elizabeth Gloster's report on regulatory failings.

He questions the 80% FSCS limit chosen and seeks clarity on practical implementation and prevention of future investment failures.

Intervened to highlight that a Member of Parliament received compensation from subsidiaries involved in mis-selling, raising ethical concerns about profiting from such situations.

Asked McFadden if it is fair for responsible lenders to suffer losses due to regulatory failures while others may profit. Highlighted a case in his constituency where individuals invested based on FCA endorsement and lost significant sums.

Minister John Glen acknowledged constituents affected by LCF issues and stated that the Government will establish a compensation scheme for exceptional circumstances. He highlighted the unique situation of LCF as an authorised firm despite not receiving income from regulated activities, making it exceptional compared to other mini-bond issuers. Glen emphasised that the Government's approach follows historical precedent with only three compensation schemes established in 35 years and mentioned ongoing consultations to regulate mini-bonds under FCA. He also expressed confidence in the transformation programme at the FCA and commitment to ensuring victims of fraudulent pension liberation receive their pensions.

Intervened briefly, expressing encouragement for the Minister's confidence in FCA's transformation programme and asked if he would sit down with the new chief executive to ensure consumer interests are protected during the demutualisation of Liverpool Victoria.
