UK: the Financial Services Bill - joint committee's call for evidence

The Joint Select Committee on the Financial Services Bill, which has been formed to conduct pre-legislative scrutiny of the Bill, has published a call for evidence and is seeking views on twenty two specific questions including, for example, the desirability of adopting a 'twin peaks' model of financial regulation and the appropriateness of reforming the UK's financial regulatory system through amending existing legislation: see here (pdf). A copy of the draft Bill is available here (pdf, 4.3MB).
