Today, the Government published a White Paper and draft Bill setting out its detailed blueprint for reform of financial regulation in the UK. The White Paper also poses further questions for consultation, and provides a summary of responses to the earlier consultation published in February
The draft Bill will undergo 12 weeks of pre-legislative parliamentary scrutiny once a scrutiny committee has been established. The consultation on the White Paper closes on 8 September 2011, and it is envisaged that a Bill will be introduced into Parliament before the end of this year.
This briefing highlights the key points of the White Paper and the next steps.
