MPs take aim at 'flawed' plans to reimburse scam victims - Financia...

Plans to reimburse victims of fraud by handing responsibility to a non-regulatory body sponsored by banks are “fundamentally flawed” and raise serious conflicts of interest, according to MPs. In a scathing report, MPs from the House of Commons Treasury select committee criticised the UK’s Payment Systems Regulator for planning to hand off responsibility for recompensing individuals targeted by scams to payments operator Pay.UK.

It was during her maternity leave that Megan Gray, a corporate lawyer at an elite international firm, realised she could not return to her job as it was. “In corporate, transactional practices the model is being always on, always working, with no shut-off or delineation between work and home,” she says. “I started thinking how could I do this again? It felt physically impossible.” Gray asked her employer at the time, Freshfields Bruckhaus Deringer, if she could work set hours — more like nine-…
