Demos and the Lloyds Banking Group are proud to present this panel event at the Labour Party Conference, which will consider whether proposed changes in the quality and availability of personal financial advice will be enough to overcome the inertia and confusion which has bedevilled the savings and protection landscape for too long. We are delighted to be joined by:

Chris Leslie MP, Member of Parliament for Nottingham East

Teresa Perchard, Director of Public Policy, Citizens Advice

Robert Fletcher, Bancassurance Director, Scottish Widows

Sam Fleming, Economics Editor, The Times

David Goodhart, Director of Demos (Chair)

People are worried about their financial futures but confused about what measures they should be taking. A lack of understanding and confidence has resulted in savings and protection levels remaining stubbornly low. This Demos and Lloyds event asks whether these steps will be enough and what other measures need to be taken to make financial services simple for ordinary customers.
