Equitable Life Assurance Society: Compensation
The question
To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, for what reason her Department will not review the decision to provide full compensation to victims of the Equitable Life.
Answered by Torsten Bell
The Equitable Life Payment Scheme has been fully wound down and closed since 2016 and there are no plans to reopen any decisions relating to the Payment Scheme or review the £1.5 billion funding allocation previously made to it. Further guidance on the status of the Payment Scheme after closure is available at: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/equitable-life-payment-scheme#closure-of-the-scheme.
