Charging For Residential Accommodation Guidelines

EDM number 1190 in 2006-07, proposed by Timothy Farron on 21/03/2007.

That this House notes with concern that independent savings accounts and savings in personal equity plans which are created with the specific purpose of paying off a mortgage are taken into account under the Department of Health's Charging for Residential Accommodation Guidelines as capital; further notes that this creates a disincentive for prudent financial management and is a cause of severe and unexpected financial hardship to people in vulnerable circumstances; and urges the Government to re-examine its guidelines with a view to protecting people.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
