News: 26/09/2011 - David Forfar and the APPG meeting
On 14 September, after Prime Minister's questions, about 50 MPs and assistants attended the latest Equitable Life all–party group session. They heard from EMAG's Paul Weir and then from eminent independent actuary, David Forfar, who summarised his thorough, fact–based analysis of what has befallen the pre–1992 annuitants.
His conclusion is that the Treasury and Mark Hoban's presentation to MPs has been gravely misleading. These 10,000 unfortunates due to receive NIL compensation benefitted from insignificant over–bonussing, suffered EXACTLY the same consequences of maladministration and are deserving of exactly the same methodology as those supposedly receiving 100% of their relative losses for life, tax free.
