Book Description
Although consumer credit is central to today's UK economy, the laws regulating the market were mostly established in the early 1970's. At that time, there was only one credit card available and the amount owed totalled [pound]32 million. Today, there are 1,300 credits cards available and the total level of personal debt owed amounts to [pound]49 billion. This White Paper contains proposals for reform of Britain's consumer credit legislation, in order to modernise the current regime and to promote innovation and market competition whilst also providing adequate levels of consumer protection, choice and information. It includes proposals to address unfair credit practices and promote greater market transparency, tackle the problems of illegal money lenders or 'loan sharks', further European-wide consumer credit provision, and develop a strategy to minimise levels of personal finance debt. This two volume set also contains a consultation paper with proposals for regulations on early settlement; consumer credit advertising; the form and content of credit agreements; APRs on credit cards; and on-line agreements. The deadline for responses is Monday 15th March 2004.

A History of Army Aviation 1950-1962
Author: Richard P. WeinertPublisher: www.Militarybookshop.CompanyUK
ISBN: 9781780391311
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
U.S. Army aviation expanded dramatically in both size and breadth of activities after its inception in 1942, but much of its post-World War II history, particularly after the establishment of the Air Force as an independent service by the national Security Act of 1947, has been relatively neglected. Despite a certain amount of jockeying for position by both services, particularly in the early years after their separation, the Army was able to carve out a clear transport and operational combat role for its own air arm. "A History of Army Aviation - 1950-1962" examines the development of the Army's air wing, especially for air support of ground troops, both in terms of organization and in relation to the ongoing friction with the Air Force. After describing the rapid expansion of purely Army air power after 1950 and the accompanying expansion of aviation training, the book delves into the reorganization of aviation activities within a Directorate of Army Aviation. It also provides a valuable account of the successful development of aircraft armament, perhaps the most significant advance of this period. In particular, intensive experimentation at the Army Aviation School led to several practical weapons systems and helped to prove that weapons could be fired from rotary aircraft. This arming of the helicopter was to have a profound effect on both Army organization and combat doctrine, culminating in official approval of the armed helicopter by the Department of the Army in 1960. "A History of Army Aviation - 1950-1962" also explores the development of new aircraft between 1955 and 1962, including the UH-1 medical evacuation, transport, and gunship helicopter and the HC-1 cargo copter. In addition, the book discusses the Berlin Crisis of 1961 as an impetus for immediate and unexpected expansion of army aviation, quickly followed by the beginnings of intervention in Vietnam by the end of 1962.

U.S. Marines In Vietnam: The Advisory And Combat Assistance Era, 1954-1964
Author: Capt. Robert H. WhitlowPublisher: Pickle Partners Publishing
ISBN: 178720085X
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 416
Book Description
This is the first of a series of chronological histories prepared by the Marine Corps History and Museums Division to cover the entire span of Marine Corps involvement in the Vietnam conflict. This particular volume covers a relatively obscure chapter in U.S. Marine Corps history—the activities of Marines in Vietnam between 1954 and 1964. The narrative traces the evolution of those activities from a one-man advisory operation at the conclusion of the French-Indochina War in 1954 to the advisory and combat support activities of some 700 Marines at the end of 1964. As the introductory volume for the series this account has an important secondary objective: to establish a geographical, political, and military foundation upon which the subsequent histories can be developed.
