Petitions had to stop because of the recent general election. Once a new Petitions Committee is set up by the House of Commons, petitions will start again.

Closed petition Extend regulation of lenders to cover all lenders to businesses

We would like the Government to require any lender, whether lending to individuals or businesses, to be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). Currently only some business to business lending is regulated, which can leave lenders unaccountable, and customers unprotected.

More details

We want all lenders to be required to be authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to offer credit, and only be able to provide regulated agreements. This should ensure that customers are better protected, and lenders more accountable.

About petition data

The data shows the number of people who have signed the petition by country as well as in the constituency of each Member of Parliament. This data is available for all petitions on the site. It is not a list of people who have signed the petition. The only name that is shared on the site is that of the petition creator.

We’re waiting for a new Petitions Committee
