UK: Government sets out vision for financial services

Today, in his Mansion House speech and accompanying publications, the Chancellor has set out the Government's vision for the future of financial services in the United Kingdom.  A copy of the speech is available here and the document "A new chapter for financial services" is available here (pdf). Several consultations were also launched (or will shortly launch) including those relating to wholesale capital markets, the UK's prospectus regime and access to cash. In addition, a response to the October 2020 call for evidence in respect of Solvency II was published: see here (pdf).
