Financial education petition has reached 100,000 signatures

The petition for compulsory financial education for young people reached 100,000 signatures this week, the trigger for a possible MPs' debate in Parliament.

More than 250 MPs are part of the all-party parliamentary group on financial education for young people, which has also called for compulsory money lessons. The petition also has the support of consumer groups such as Which? and the Consumer Credit Counselling Service.
