Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many personnel from each financial sector regulator for which he is responsible have been seconded and for what purpose to a financial regulator elsewhere in the EU.

The UK’s financial services regulators operate secondment programmes to financial services firms, regulatory bodies and institutions – including those in the EU and rest of the world - and do so for various reasons.

The number of personnel seconded and the purpose for doing so is a matter for the independent regulators.
