<p>As I said in my answer to Topical Questions on 14 December, since the creation
of our Department, we have engaged closely with the financial services industry. We
have received representations from a wide variety of stakeholders, including UK Finance,
TheCityUK, the Association of Foreign Banks and the Investment Association, as well
as many firms in Edinburgh, which, as the hon. Lady knows well, is a regional and
global leader in, among others, the asset management and insurance industries. We
will continue to work closely with them and colleagues at the Treasury to ensure that
our financial services industry thrives.</p>
