answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2018 answer text <p>There is no such test of fit and proper persons on national security grounds under applicable legislation. The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 (FSMA) requires that the appropriate regulator be notified before the acquisition of or increase in control over a UK authorised person. The regulator then assesses whether to approve or object to the acquisition by reference to specified criteria in the Act. There is no role for HM Treasury to consider or supplement the regulator’s assessment.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 14/06/2018 15:41:27 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 14/06/2018 answer text <p>Sanctions of third countries do not affect whether companies should be allowed to float on the London Stock Exchange. We impose sanctions, either unilaterally or through the EU, when we have sufficient evidence to prove that sanctions on a person or company satisfy the purposes of the regime in question. Any company that is subject to relevant EU sanctions will not be allowed to list, and these sanctions additionally prevent designated persons from being the beneficiaries of the proceeds of a listing. This is also true for persons that are listed under a UK autonomous sanctions regime.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 14/06/2018 15:44:52 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/03/2018 answer text <p>HM Treasury is not directly involved in the process for companies seeking to list on the London Stock Exchange and therefore does not undertake checks as part of this process. Companies seeking to admit securities to the Official List must apply to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), in its role as the UK Listing Authority (UKLA). For listed companies, the UKLA monitors and enforces compliance with the Listing Rules. The FCA is an independent regulator.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen grouped question UIN 132495 question first answered 20/03/2018 16:12:50 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2018 answer text <p>The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is the competent authority responsible for the UK initial public offering (IPO) process. Companies seeking to admit securities to the Official List must apply to the UK Listing Authority (UKLA), a division of the Financial Conduct Authority.</p><p> </p><p>The UKLA is responsible for assessing the eligibility of any potential issuer and approving the prospectus of any company that wishes to list its securities on the London Stock Exchange. The UKLA can request advice from the Office of Financial Sanctions (OFSI), which is part of HM Treasury, in relation to UN, UK or EU sanctions but responsibility for the admission of companies to the Official List lies with the UKLA.</p><p> </p><p>OFSI assesses all reported suspected breaches of UN, EU or UK financial sanctions to determine whether a breach has occurred and if so, the extent of any breach before taking action. OFSI refers the most serious cases to the National Crime Agency (&quot;NCA&quot;) for criminal investigation.</p><p> </p><p>The Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) of the US Treasury Department enforces US economic and trade sanctions. OFSI regularly engages with OFAC on financial sanctions but OFSI has no role in ensuring compliance with or enforcement with US sanctions.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 16/03/2018 13:14:28 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
