Free tickets to the future of banking debate

What? Consumer Focus and the Independent Commission on Banking debate which Martin will be taking part in.

When and where? Monday 13 December 2010, 6pm for 6.30pm start, finishing at 7.45pm. One Great George Street, Westminster, London SW1P 3AA

What's it all about? As part of the Government sanctioned Independent Commission on Banking's review of the structure of the banking market, Consumer Focus and the Commission is holding this event on retail banking looking at consumers' experience of the sector.

It will seek to explore the connected issues of competition, choice and financial inclusion. We are looking forward to a lively, interactive evening, covering key questions including:

• How can we ensure that banks provide 'public goods' such as essential banking services and financial inclusion so that people aren't locked out of the market?
• Why don't consumers vote with their feet when they're unhappy with charges, service and products and what can be done to encourage consumers to drive competition?
• What is the role of smaller financial service providers in a healthy competitive market?

Who will be there?

The evening will be hosted by BBC Money Box presenter, Paul Lewis.

The pAnal will be made up of Independent Banking Commissioner, Martin Taylor, Martin Lewis, founder of Money Saving Expert; Mark Lyonette, CEO of the Association of British Credit Unions Ltd; and Danielle Walker-Palmour, Director of Friends Provident Foundation.
