URGENT OPEN LETTER TO MP ON THE LOAN CHARGE

Dear Minister,

We are writing an urgent letter to you in your new position as the Financial Secretary to the Treasury.

On the 11th April at the conclusion of the Loan Charge Debate the House voted in favour of the motion. The Will of the House is clearly for an immediate suspension of the Loan Charge and an independent review of this legislation.

Many Conservative MPs have criticised the Loan Charge as well as MPs from other parties. As you will be aware, there have been suicides of people affected by the Loan Charge. With the huge anxiety thousands of people are facing, we believe that a pause and a review is vital and the right and responsible thing to do. You must take notice of the huge weight of concern amongst MPs, including many in your own party. It was clear in the debate on the 4th and the 11th April, that the Loan Charge in its current form is not supported by a majority of MPs. We urge you, as the Rt Hon MP said, to listen to and act upon the Will of the House. It is clear from their debate on 29th April that the takes the same view.

We urge you to announce a 6-month delay today to give peace of mind to thousands of people and their families and to allow for a proper review.
