The Government collaborated closely with the Bank of England in the development of the reforms and engaged with ring-fenced banks and other stakeholders during the Ring-Fencing Review. HM Treasury does not routinely publish correspondence it has with industry or other stakeholders.

HM Treasury and the Bank of England will consult publicly on the detailed proposals being taken forward following the Review and will publish summaries of responses in the normal way.
