The Government takes very seriously the failure of London Capital and Finance (LCF). On 1 April, I wrote to the Chair at the Financial Conduct Authority, Charles Randell, to say I will use powers under the Financial Services Act 2012 to direct the FCA to launch an investigation into the events at LCF and the circumstances surrounding them. This followed a request to me from Charles Randell to launch such an investigation.
