Compensation (London Capital & Finance plc and Fraud Compensation Fund) Act 2021

Summary

This Act sets up a special fund to compensate people who lost savings when London Capital & Finance plc went bust in a fraud scandal. It ensures victims of this particular fraud receive financial help to recover their losses.

A vote to support means

  • Supporting this Act means helping people who lost money when London Capital & Finance plc collapsed due to fraud. The Act creates a compensation fund to repay victims, so ordinary people aren't left out of pocket because of criminal wrongdoing.

A vote to oppose means

  • Critics might worry about the cost to taxpayers who didn't invest with the company. Others could argue it sets a difficult precedent—if the government compensates all fraud victims, the costs could become very large.
