The Director of Consumer Affairs is continuing her work to secure the agreement of the representative organisations of credit institutions to a code to which their members would voluntarily adhere.
Towards that end, the Director, earlier this month, put forward fresh proposals, in relation to the small number of issues outstanding, to the representative organisations.
I have maintained and continue to maintain close contact with the Director on this matter. I am sure the Deputy will join me in expressing support for this important consumer protection initiative by the Director; and in urging the representative organisations to exercise their best efforts to reach a speedy agreement on the code.
