Griffiths Commission on Personal Debt

rdf:langString Griffiths Commission on Personal Debt

rdf:langString The Griffiths Commission on Personal Debt was launched in 2004 by Oliver Letwin, MP, the then Conservative Shadow Chancellor, to investigate the increasing problem of personal debt in the United Kingdom. Although initially formed by the Conservative Party, the Commission took evidence from individuals of all political persuasion and none, and sought to achieve consensus across the political divide. The final report entitled What Price Credit? was published by the Centre for Social Justice in March 2005. Elements of the report were welcomed by the Conservative and Liberal Democrat parties, although there was no official response from the ruling Labour Party.
