Consultation description
This consultation forms part of the government’s Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy. It covers a number of changes the government is proposing in relation to the overarching regulatory framework for financial services.

- A requirement for the regulators to produce long-term strategies with clear goals and priorities.
