Previous UK Government legacy
A summary of information written by the Rt Hon Sajid Javid when he was Home Secretary: It was once believed that treating the public fairly in disputes would harm the economy.
In 2019 at a meeting held by the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Fair Business Banking, the Rt Hon Kevin Hollinrake said the APPG were officially aware of and investigating what he claimed to be, “The criminal defrauding by Lloyds Bank of the British public and SMEs of £100 Billion.” He also said, “We believe the collective banks of the UK have criminally defrauded the British public and SMEs of £1.2 Trillion”.
The Rt Hon Kevin Hollinrake:
Kevin Hollinrake was appointed a Minister of State in the Department for Business and Trade on 26 March 2024. Before this, he was Parliamentary Under Secretary of State at the Department for Business and Trade from 7 February 2023.
Proof of this meeting:
Heather Buchanan, Director of Policy for the APPG organised this event which took place on Thursday 14th March 2019 at Portcullis House in Westminster. The Rt Hon Kevin Brennan MP and the Rt Hon Kevin Hollinrake MP co-chaired this. Several other MPs attended including the Rt Hon MP Derek Thomas.
Instead of just acknowledging the problem, mainstream parties are being forced to embrace this change when televised.
