EU plans baggage rule change for anyone flying to Spain, France, or Greece
EU plans baggage rule change for anyone flying to Spain, France, or Greece The new EU rule would cover anyone from the UK flying to and from countries like Italy and Portugal A woman checking the size of her carry-on luggage at the airport The European Union is planning a change in the rules on carry-on bags on flights, which would cover planes flying between the UK and countries including Spain, Portugal, Greece, France and Italy. At the minute, some airlines charge passengers for each item they want to take aboard. Different airlines have different rules - meaning the size of the bag you can take aboard and how much it will cost you - is different each time. The new EU rule would set a specific size of bag you would be allowed to take on flights operated by companies like easyJet, Ryanair and Wizz Air. And the rule would stipulate that the take-on bag would be free, the airline would not be able to charge you extra to take a bag aboard the plane. The rule would change the confusion that see people being charged extra when they get to the airport for bags deemed too big, or too heavy. And people being charged for a bag by one airline but allowed to take it without additional fees by another. EU transport ministers this week proposed standardised sizing for free underseat baggage on EU airlines. It will become law if it is accepted by the European Parliament. The new rule would mean passengers are guaranteed one free personal item, measuring up to 40x30x15cm (including wheels and handles) - or which could reasonably fit under a plane seat. The rules would apply to EU-based airlines, including when they are carrying passengers from a non-EU country like the UK to an EU country and vice-versa. Article continues below 11 years ago, an EU court ruled that hand baggage should not be subject to an additional fee so long as it is a reasonable size. But the ruling did not define 'reasonable'. Currently, Ryanair allows a free carry-on bag of 40x20x25cm, while easyJet's rules for a free bag are 45x36x20 cm, including wheels and handles. The new rule would cover under-seat bags, but does not currently mention bags you put in overhead lockers. In November, five airlines in Spain were fined £150million for 'abusive practices', including charging for hand luggage. Spain's Consumer Rights Ministry said it planned to ban charging extra for carry-on luggage. Article continues below Ryanair told the BBC it fully complied with EU law. A spokesman said: "If airlines were forced to include additional carry-on bags as part of the basic fare, it would reduce choice and drive up air fares for all passengers, which would harm consumers." Industry group Airlines For Europe said charging different amounts depending on baggage "allows passengers to choose the exact services that best suits their needs". Travel consumer expert Jane Hawkes, told the BBC: "A one-size-fits-all kind of approach would make it a lot simpler for passengers."

Cuba or camping trip? New Scouts badge helps teenagers learn to budget
From pocket money through to student loans, the teenage years are when finance transforms from a side issue into one of your biggest concerns. Now those who are members of the Scout Association can learn about personal finance and put their knowledge to use – then get a badge for it. Guardian Money was invited to the Argo group of explorer scouts in Hampstead, London, where 27 members aged 14 to 18 had a go at some of the tasks involved in the money skills badge. The new badge for scouts and explorer scouts is designed to teach useful life skills, including budgeting for holidays, understanding the pitfalls of payday loans and avoiding scams. Under the watchful eye of the badge's programme designer, Georgie Howarth, they first played a game designed to show them how financial decisions are made. One set of cards had details of different jobs, how much someone might earn and a set of monthly outgoings for their housing and bills. The second set each described an event ('your washing machine breaks – pay £100 to fix it', for example) or a choice ('your friends have invited you on holiday – it costs £500'). Choices came with a financial cost or benefit and an emotional one, in the form of happiness points, and the explorer scouts debated which was more important to them before making a decision. A budgeting task gave them the choice of whether to plan a dream holiday for two or a group camp, and it got them all talking about how they would spend the money they had to play with. Some set their sights high before realising that the budget would not stretch – one group quickly went from considering a trip to Cuba to landing on Butlin's in Skegness. Some optimistic food budgets (clearly they have never tried to feed a teenager) meant the money probably went further than it would in real life, but they learned something of the balancing act that goes into stretching limited finances. Younger members of the Scout Association in the beaver and cub sections have already been able to earn the badges (the cub pack I run recently gained theirs). For the older members, the skills will come in handy more quickly. Some explorer scouts already earn money through part-time jobs or receive allowances, and university will be a next step for many. While financial literacy is on the school curriculum, some of the e explorer scouts said their lessons had not always involved practical activities. 'When we learn about financial skills at school, it tends to be listening to an hour-long presentation about how we're supposed to allocate money in percentages,' said James. 'Tonight we've been able to learn about budgeting in ways that are practical and seem realistic.' Howarth said she and her colleagues had looked at what was being taught in schools and tried to design a badge that fitted in with 'the scout way of doing things'. 'We are acutely aware that schools can often cover key skills such as budgeting and use of credit and debit cards at a surface level,' she said. The badge, sponsored by HSBC and launched at the start of My Money Week (9-13 June), 'gives young people the ability to access financial literacy in a completely different way to traditional academic learning', she added. Another explorer scout, Anais, said the school sessions had 'talked about mortgages, and I don't feel I'll ever have a mortgage', whereas the game they had just played had used rent on some of the cards. 'It's made me feel more prepared for the real world,' she added. And what could be more in the scout way than being prepared?

Reform launches attack on the Bank of England
Reform has launched a blistering attack on the Bank of England for wasting tens of billions of taxpayers' cash on its money-printing programme. Richard Tice, the party's deputy leader, accused Threadneedle Street of prioritising bank profits over the interests of working people as he vowed to order it to stop paying billions of pounds in interest to commercial lenders. In a letter to Andrew Bailey, the Governor of the Bank of England, Mr Tice says the Bank has engaged in 'systemic misuse of taxpayers' money' by paying interest on cash parked at the Bank as well as selling its existing stockpile of government bonds at substantial losses. Reform, which is leading several polls, claims it could save £35bn a year by scrapping interest on central bank reserves, created as part of the Bank's £895bn quantitative easing (QE) programme to boost the economy during the financial crisis and Covid lockdowns. It wants to use this money to help pay for an increase in the tax-free personal allowance to £20,000 and cut corporation tax. Mr Tice said the unwinding of this programme – known as quantitative tightening (QT) – was pushing up borrowing costs and piling pressure on the public finances. 'The Bank of England is unnecessarily wasting tens of billions of pounds of taxpayers' money, whilst enriching City institutions,' the letter says. 'The nation's accounts are already under very severe pressure. QT is also partly responsible for keeping gilt yields higher than they otherwise would be, resulting in even more punitive interest costs, imposing yet more strain on the [public finances].' The remarks put the Bank on a collision course with Reform if the party wins the next election. Mr Bailey has warned that a victory for Reform could lower savings rates or push up borrowing costs for consumers. Commercial banks earn interest on reserves held at the Bank at the base rate. Threadneedle Street made huge profits from QE when interest rates were at record lows of 0.1pc because the returns on the government gilts it bought were far higher than the amount it had to pay in interest on reserves. A total of £123.9bn was generated and sent to the Treasury. However, this rapidly reversed when borrowing costs started to rise, with £85.9bn transferred back from the Treasury to the Bank since the end of 2022. NatWest, Barclays, Lloyds and Santander received more than £9bn in interest on Bank of England reserves in 2023 – a 135pc increase on the previous year, according to the Treasury committee of MPs. The Office for Budget Responsibility (OBR), the Government's tax and spending watchdog, expects the cumulative lifetime loss to the taxpayer to total £133.7bn – which is bigger than the annual education budget and more than twice what the UK spends on defence. Reform is not alone in its criticism of QT. Former Bank deputy governors including Sir Paul Tucker and Sir Charlie Bean have also suggested changes to how reserves are remunerated. Rachel Reeves, the Chancellor, also wrote to Mr Bailey last month to stress that the process of reducing the Bank's stockpile of bonds must provide 'value for money'. However, the Governor has repeatedly warned that ending interest payments on reserves could undermine the Bank's ability to influence the cost of borrowing, while another former policymaker, Gertjan Vlieghe, said such a move would be a 'disaster' akin to a debt default. Mr Tice used the letter to describe the comparison as 'complete nonsense'. He said: 'This money was created out of thin air by the Treasury and Bank of England to lubricate the wheels of the economy at two times of extreme national stress over the last 18 years. 'It did not belong to those City institutions in the first place. It is no coincidence that commercial bank profits have soared as interest rates rose as the Bank of England paid out tens of billions of this voluntary interest. Those institutions cannot believe their luck.' Catherine Mann, a member of the Bank's Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) that sets interest rates, has also warned that policymakers must pay closer attention to the impact of QT on financial markets and the wider economy now that it is cutting interest rates. She estimated that QT could raise borrowing costs by almost a quarter of a percentage point. Mr Bailey has repeatedly spoken out against changing the way commercial lenders are compensated for parking their cash at the Bank, warning that it could undermine financial and monetary stability if lenders no longer wished to hold extra buffers at the Bank. In a letter to the Treasury select committee in April, Mr Bailey said: 'Remuneration of reserves is a key component of the Bank's approach to ensuring rate control. Any loss of rate control would undermine the MPC's ability to affect the real economy with its interest rate decisions and could cause significant harm to credibility of monetary policy.' However, Mr Tice denied that Reform would be interfering with the Bank's independence, comparing the Bank's choices to 'extraordinary strategic decisions which amount not to monetary policy but to fiscal policy, costing the taxpayer tens of billions of pounds of losses'. He added: 'The role of elected governments and politicians is to protect taxpayer's money and the broader interests of the electorate. It would be negligent of us to ignore this very significant issue and leave it in the hands of unelected people. Our job is to challenge, scrutinise and question'. A Bank of England spokesman said: 'The Governor set out the Bank's views on the matter in a letter to the Treasury Select Committee.'
