| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “You said to City AM that you hoped I would as well.” | 12 |

| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “It is important. I agree with you. I heard the description from the third-sector organisations of how they met one and then met another, and they did not get a chance to feed into the Committee. No serious person would say that is an ideal situation. I agree with you. I am grateful that you recognise it is not my perso…” | 294 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “On the technical side, some of them are contracted. There are agreements in place on some of the projects. They should be held to account for delivery on the project planning side. Holding industry or the delivery partners to account is done through the Financial Inclusion Committee. I expect the Treasury Committee wil…” | 80 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “Do you mean specifically on AI?” | 6 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “Operationally, there is real potential with AI in terms of providing debt advice. That is one of the areas that the Money and Pensions Service is exploring, supporting advisers with the initial step of providing debt advice. There is a really important role for AI in that space. I recognise the role it could start play…” | 102 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “These are important pilots. I really support the test-and-learn approach. I understand that the small sum lending pilot is on track. I expect to hear relatively regularly from Fair4All Finance on how it is going. The key role for the Minister is to make sure that the two-year review thoroughly considers the outcomes of…” | 113 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “No, it is more than making sure it is being done properly. It is certainly applying analysis to the outcome of the pilot. I do not know what kind of evidence is going to come forward so I cannot really say whether I would push at the margins, but it is certainly providing that analysis, that cross-Government approach a…” | 117 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “There is a plan for who owns each commitment. I can write to you on that.” | 16 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “Yes, and then there are the partners that deliver.” | 9 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “It is a director who meets with them quarterly.” | 9 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “I think it is suitably senior, but I am relatively new. I will let you know if I do not think it is.” | 23 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “Yes.” | 1 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “I think the two-year review is a public document. If the Treasury writes to you to tell you who is in charge of which strand, I believe it would become a public document. I think that is all fine.” | 39 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “I just need to make sure they are alive after I have stopped talking.” | 14 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “Would that be a first?” | 5 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “I would certainly be—” | 4 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “The baseline is the Financial Lives survey from 2024, and there are some outcomes in the next steps in the back of the strategy. The Financial Lives survey for 2026 is taking place as we speak. That is really important. There is then the two-year review, which would be November 2027. One area to raise with the Committe…” | 175 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “I have asked this question, but I do not know the answer about geography. I know the answer about equality.” | 20 |
| 9 Jun 2026 | Treasury Committee — Oral Evidence (HC 13) “Just so the officials can breathe a bit, this is not something I have been particularly briefed on or particularly looked at in the Treasury. As you know, as a constituency Member of Parliament prior to being a Minister, I spoke out about how that insurance is brokered. I know there are interesting models for brokering…” | 124 |
