Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government what steps they are taking to (1) retain, and (2) attract, foreign financial firms and jobs in the UK.

Financial and related professional services employ more than 2 million people in the UK and the Government is committed to ensuring the UK remains the location of choice for top talent from across the world. This is part of the Government’s mission to ensure the UK retains its position as one of the most innovative and competitive financial centres in the world. Most recently, at Spring Budget 2024, the Chancellor updated on the ambitious package of reforms which will help to deliver the Government’s vision for a financial sector that is open, sustainable, technologically innovative, and globally competitive.
