Save Our Savers issues statement of intent

Wed 14th Apr 2010

Action group Save Our Savers has revealed that it intends to campaign "passionately" to protect the interests of responsible savers in the UK and ensure that the issue is central to all political parties' strategies.

Reverend John Strain, a spokesperson for the organisation, called on the public to sign up to the Save Our Savers initiative.

He suggested that people who are inclined to put away money have been neglected by successive governments and it is vital that their anger is not "swept under the carpet" during the upcoming election.

"Together we will challenge those who hope to govern us on their commitment to savers, and then we intend to hold them to account for their pledges," remarked Revd Strain.

His comments follow research by the collective, which showed that 45 per cent of adults in the country want the main political parties to explicitly state their policies regarding savings.

Revd Strain recently reacted negatively towards the decision to keep the Bank of England base rate at 0.5 per cent, saying that it is causing pain to the country's savers.
