Victims of the Equitable Life collapse have called on the
Chancellor to hand over compensation, following the European
Parliament report two months ago. The European Parliament report
called for compensation and regulatory changes.
In a letter to Alistair Darling, the Equitable Members' Action
Group called for an immediate comprehensive response to this
report.
The government has said it will not respond to the European
report until the parliamentary ombudsman Ann Abraham published her
report. In May, Ms Abraham said her publication has been delayed
and there was no timetable for when it would go ahead.
