Treasury Committee launches post-Brexit FS inquiry

The Treasury Committee has started a new inquiry looking at financial services in the UK after Brexit. Its focus is to look at:

• what the UK’s financial services priorities should be when negotiating the UK’s future trading relationships with the EU and third countries;
• how the sector can take advantage of the new environment, including whether it should keep the current regulatory barriers that apply to third countries; and
• what skills and immigration policy the sector will need.

The inquiry will hear evidence from industry, regulators, ministers and officials and will then make recommendations. The Committee has not set any deadlines or meeting dates.
