    I need advice on how to make fraudulent claims. Will there be a section on this, and which MP will be giving the lecture.

    I have a duckpond I need a new house for and my workplace is kicking off about my claim. Can I put it through the commons finance department?
  • Martin,

    Why don't you either send the blog (via e-mail) to all MP's and Peers (thinking ahead to smooth any bills passage through the Lords) asking them to sign up to supporting Justin Tomlinson's APG and eventual bill.

    or

    Provide a link for MSEer's to e-mail their own MP's with the blog asking them to support Justin and his APG. They would then get lot's of e-mail's from their constituents. As each one signs up to support the APG, you block the link for that particular MP, so they don't get any more of the same e-mails.

    It may be difficult to set up, but I am sure your IT savvie back room staff are more than capable of doing it

    Hiya - at the moment this blog is just a heads up - once justin is actually forming the APG - we'll do this on a much bigger scale to show people how to get in touch with their MPs and contact them.

    I have seen teachers persuade ombudsmen that they did not realise that if a projected maturity value on an illustration was less than the mortgage amount they might not have enough to pay it all off.

    Presumably they would not be able to teach you to be financially aware - or perhaps they would be able to teach you how to make fraudulent claims.

    martin,
    I have worked in financial services (and have the professional qualifications) for over 15 years and have been involved with the presentation of personal finance matters in schools locally..............with great success. Having retired from the industry i would like to be involved in "financial education in schools" as a full or part time business.
    Do you have any contacts are can you point me in the right direction.....i am from South Yorkshire.
    Thanx
