Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, when the Government plans to publish detailed arrangements for equivalence decisions on access to EU markets for the financial services sector.

On 9 November 2020 the Chancellor announced a package of equivalence decisions for the EU and EEA member states in favour of openness and certainty for industry. The Government is not ruling out further equivalence decisions for the EU and EEA Member States in the future and remains open to further dialogue with the EU about their intentions with regard to equivalence decisions for the UK. Details covering the Government’s equivalence decisions were published on GOV.UK in November and are available at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/hm-treasury-equivalence-decisions-for-the-eea-states-9-november-2020/hm-treasury-equivalence-decisions-for-the-eea-states-9-november-2020
