Devine asks Minister for debate on Greenbelt Group Ltd.
12 July 2007

 Mr. Jim Devine (Livingston) (Lab):

May we have a debate in Government time on the performance and behaviour of Greenbelt,  a factoring company, which charges homeowners up to £400 a year and provides little or no service? It is Farepak for homeowners. Yesterday, its lawyers wrote a threatening letter not only to me but to my constituent, Paula Hoogerbrugge. Paula has been monitoring the company’s performance nationally. She is a single mum, yet it not  only sent her a threatening letter, but its representatives contacted her employers with a clear view to having her silenced or sacked.
Will my right hon. and learned Friend join me in condemning that despicable behaviour?
Ms Harriet Harman:

I thank my hon. Friend for raising the matter in the House. The behaviour that he describes is worrying and I will raise it with my right hon. Friend the Secretary of State for Business, Enterprise and Regulatory Reform. Important financial sectors must have proper methods of probity.

This evening BBC Radio Scotland's Drivetime news programme covered the story.
