Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they plan to increase co-operation with the United States in (1) the banking sector, and (2) the information and technologies sector after Brexit.

The UK has a deep and enduring relationship with the United States which we will continue and deepen after we leave the EU. The UK-US Financial Regulatory Working Group lays the foundation for greater co-operation in the banking sector. We will also continue to work with the US under the Science and Technology Agreement signed in September 2017, to develop programmes that broaden our bilateral relationship and keep us at the forefront of international research and innovation.
