I hope the Minister of State will be able to reflect what I have said. The problem of illegal moneylending is much bigger than we realise. While I appreciate some of my suggestions may be somewhat draconian, the time has come to use powers such as those we used to deal with subversive activity. We cannot allow this practice to continue to affect innocent families that are struggling in these difficult economic times.
