In September 2014 the Government consulted on whether the regulatory regime put in place for LIBOR should be extended to seven other major benchmarks, based on recommendations from the Fair and Effective Markets Review. This regime includes the criminal offence of manipulating a ‘relevant benchmark’ either by making misleading statements or by creating a false or misleading impression of the value of investments that could affect such a benchmark. The list of benchmarks included the dominant benchmark for the foreign exchange market, WM/Reuters 4pm London Closing Spot Rate.

Individuals are only affected by the rules if they would be employees if engaged directly. The rules were reformed in April 2017 for public sector engagements to address widespread non-compliance. The reform only affects public sector bodies and the agencies or other third parties, who provide labour for the public sector.</p><p> </p><p>The government is evaluating the impact of the public sector reform, including through externally commissioned independent research, which is due to be published this year.</p> answering member constituency Central Devon answering member printed Mel Stride question first answered 28/02/2018 13:06:59 answering member 3935 label Biography information for Mel Stride
