Campaign group calls for cross-party financial services clean up
The Transparency Task Force (TTF) has written an open letter to the prime minister calling for a clean up of the UK’s financial services sector. TTF founder Andy Agathangelou wrote: “our financial sector has a problem … Cleaning up our financial sector isn’t a party-political issue, just as it wasn’t to get rid of asbestos in our buildings, or lead in our petrol, or candy cigarettes in our sweet shops; and I can’t imagine the issues being properly dealt with unless there is solid cross-party support for change. With that in mind I have cc’d the leaders of all the political parties plus parliamentarians that are known to have a keen interest in protecting the public from harm, especially investors and pension savers.”
