The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is operationally independent from the Government. Questions about the FCA’s day to day decision making, including details about staffing, budget and spending are matters for the independent FCA.

These questions have therefore been passed to the FCA who will respond directly to the honourable member by letter. A copy of the letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
