A new leadership team has been appointed to the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Investment Fraud and Fairer Financial Services following its Annual General Meeting at Portcullis House, Westminster.
Members from both Houses came together on 10 December to elect officers and agree the group’s priorities for the year ahead — a year they warn will be pivotal for rebuilding trust in the UK’s financial system.
Hayes and Harlington MP John McDonnell was confirmed as the APPG’s new Chair, supported by a cross-party group of Vice Chairs: Sarah Bool MP, Lord Davies of Brixton, and Ben Lake MP. Together, they form one of Westminster’s most politically diverse leadership teams dedicated to financial reform.
Accepting the role, McDonnell said he was honoured to lead the group at a “critical juncture” for financial oversight in the UK, stressing that victims of investment fraud and regulatory failures “deserve justice, not excuses”, adding ‘We will not allow a race to the bottom in regulation’.
