Norman Fowler, the former MP for Sutton Coldfield and Cabinet Minister, now Lord Fowler, reveals he is still receiving “generous” offers.

“A letter tells me I have been ‘pre-selected to apply’ for a credit card which comes with an initial credit limit of up to £2,500 and ‘a great choice of card designs’,” he said.

“All that and an annual rate of interest on debts of a mere 34.9 per cent!”
