UK: FPC seeks additional powers of direction in respect of residential lending

The Financial Policy Committee is seeking additional powers which would enable it to direct the Prudential Regulation Authority and Financial Conduct Authority to place limits on residential mortgage lending by regulated lenders, with reference to loan to value ratios and debit to income ratios. Further information is available in a statement published by the FPC setting out the rationale for seeking this new power: see here (pdf).
