That this House notes the publication of the Social Exclusion Unit's report (PAT 14) into financial exclusion which confirms that a lack of access to short-term credit and other financial services create serious problems for many low income households; notes that research published by the Policy Studies Institute in 1994 found that three million households were reliant on the services of licensed money-lenders who routinely charged between 100 per cent. and 500 per cent.
