Karen has co-sponsored an Early Day Motion calling for action to help those from some of our poorest communities who have lost savings as a result of the collapse of First Solutions Money Transfers Ltd:

That this House offers profound sympathy to the members of the Bangladeshi community who have lost their life savings as a result of the collapse of the First Solutions agency; recognises the devastating impact on some of the UK’s poorest communities; congratulates Baroness Pola Uddin and the Sir William Beveridge Foundation for establishing a crisis fund; urges all concerned to work together, to help those in need rather than to make political capital out of human misery; and calls on the Government to act to protect those who use money transfer agencies and prevent a repeat of this crisis.
