Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many referrals the Financial Conduct Authority has made to (a) the Insolvency Service and (b) Companies House recommending that a person be disqualified from acting as a company director or investigated further with a view to such action being taken in the last five years.

The issues raised are a matter for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) who are operationally independent from Government.

These questions have been passed on to the FCA. The FCA will reply directly to the honourable member by letter. A copy of the letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
