But Labour MP Stella Creasy, the leader of the parliamentary campaign to tackle the cost of credit claimed the new measures would not come into force in time to protect households struggling with Christmas and the rising cost of living.

HILLSBOROUGH: New laws giving extra powers to the police watchdog investigating the Hillsborough disaster and cover-up are set to become law after clearing Parliament tonight.
The legislation was passed by MPs last week and tonight it was agreed by the House of Lords following a fast-track procedure.
Ministers say the new powers are essential to remedy the injustice, uncovered by the Hillsborough Independent Panel report published earlier this year, suffered by the victims of the 1989 disaster.
The actions of up to 2,400 serving or retired officers could be considered by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) investigation - the watchdog’s biggest ever inquiry.
The Police (Complaints and Conduct) Bill, which has cross-party support, will enable the IPCC to compel serving officers or staff on other police bodies to attend an interview. -
