Question Asked

What recent discussions he has had with representatives of the UK financial sector on the effect on that sector of the UK leaving the single market.

Asked by:
Christine Jardine (Liberal Democrat)

Answer

As I said in my answer to Topical Questions on 14 December, since the creation of our Department, we have engaged closely with the financial services industry. We have received representations from a wide variety of stakeholders, including UK Finance, TheCityUK, the Association of Foreign Banks and the Investment Association, as well as many firms in Edinburgh, which, as the hon. Lady knows well, is a regional and global leader in, among others, the asset management and insurance industries. We will continue to work closely with them and colleagues at the Treasury to ensure that our financial services industry thrives.
