Andrew Tyrie, the chairman of the Treasury Select Committee (TSC), has written to the Financial Services Authority (FSA) over a decision by the Bank of Ireland (BoI) to raise mortgage interest rates.
In his letter, Tyrie said he was "very concerned" by the move and queried whether it could be deemed a case of product mis-selling.
He has also asked whether it will be taking a closer look at the clauses within the affected contracts.
