UK: the Kay Review of UK Equity Markets and Long-Term Decision Making - call for evidence published

In a speech delivered earlier this year, the Secretary of State for the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills - the Rt. Hon. Dr Vince Cable MP - announced the launch of an independent review, chaired by Professor John Kay, to consider the effect of UK equity markets on the competitiveness of business. The review's terms of reference were published at this time: see here (pdf). Today the terms of reference were expanded upon in a call for evidence - see here (pdf) - and information about the broad philosophy of the review was given in a speech by Professor Kay: see here (pdf). A timetable for the review, and other information, is available here.
