My right honourable friend the Chief Secretary to the Treasury (Yvette Cooper) has made the following Written Statement.

The Treasury and the Financial Services Authority are today publishing Helping You Make the Most of Your Money: A Joint Action Plan for Financial Capability. This sets out how the Government and the FSA will support people in the short term with practical help on their money questions and worries—before they turn into problems—and will equip them with the skills, knowledge and confidence to manage their money well, now and in the future.

Copies have been placed in the Libraries of both Houses and are available in the Vote Office.
