The president of the European parliament, Hans-Gert Pottering
has written to Gordon Brown to express concern over the
Government's failure to respond to a report demanding compensation
for Equitable Life policyholders.
In 2006, the European parliament launched an investigation into
the Government's role in what went wrong with Equitable Life and a
committee of inquiry produced the report which received the backing
of a majority of MEPs last year.
