‘The cap proposed by the Financial Conduct Authority means that if someone borrows £100 from a payday lender and pays it back within the agreed 30 days, they would pay a maximum of £24 in charges. Fees for late payment would be capped at £15, with a total price cap of 100% of the original loan to stop default charges spiralling out of control.’

‘The unveiling last Thursday of a a draft bill on surveillance powers that is to be rushed through Parliament brought to mind the story of the Dutch boy who finds a hole in a dyke on his way to school and puts his finger in it to plug the leak until help arrives to shore it up. The legislation is said to be necessary to plug what the Government regards as holes in the regime of surveillance and investigatory powers pending a full review. The fact that the bill is titled the Data Retention and Investigatory Powers Bill – the “DRIP” bill – may mean I am not the first person to draw the analogy. But the analogy may not be entirely apt. An examination of the DRIP Bill reveals that it is not addressing little holes in the regime but in fact profoundly important and substantial issues.’
