To propose that the National Assembly for Wales:
1. Notes:
a) the proliferation of pay day loan companies operating in Wales;
b) the extremely high rates of interest many such companies charge their customers;
c) the increasing ease of access to such loans through smartphones and the internet; and
d) the potential for such lending to create severe debt amongst our poorest communities and to suck money out of them.
2. Calls on the Welsh Government, local authorities and the third sector to work together as much as possible to offer viable alternatives to such companies and to alert citizens to the real cost of the loans offered.
