	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>There is a shared interest for both the UK and the EU in ensuring that we avoid outcomes that impose unnecessary costs and disruption on individuals and firms as we leave the EU. The Government and the EU both recognise that our exit has the potential to impact the continuity of service provision. We have been clear that a deep and ambitious future partnership covering financial services – in combination with an agreement on a time-limited implementation period – is the best way to mitigate these risks.</p><p> </p><p>The Government announced on 20 December 2017 that we will legislate, if necessary, to ensure that contractual obligations of EEA firms contracting with UK customers, such as those found in insurance contracts, can continue to be met. This would apply to in-bound firms only – the UK Government believes it in the interest of businesses and consumers in both the UK and the EU to ensure reciprocal arrangements are in place.</p><p> </p><p>We are working, together with our regulatory authorities, to provide assurances for firms and consumers that we will deliver an orderly exit from the EU. We also welcome the fact that the European Central Bank and the Bank of England have recently agreed to convene a technical working group to mitigate risks to financial services posed by our exit from the EU. While this working group is separate from the ongoing negotiations with our European partners, it provides an opportunity for UK and EU authorities to discuss risks, gives reassurance for firms, and allows UK and European financial services regulators to work together to ensure a smooth and orderly exit.</p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 16/05/2018 16:46:53 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman

In March this year, London was named once again as the world’s leading financial centre; we are committed to maintaining that position.</p><p> </p><p>We have also been clear that a good deal on financial services is in the mutual interest of the UK and the EU. Firms across the EU will continue to want to access the unrivalled depth and breadth of London’s capital markets.</p><p> </p><p>We will also seek to establish strong cooperative oversight arrangements with the EU and will continue to support and implement international standards to continue to safely serve the UK, European and global economy.

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/05/2018 answer text <p>The Government continues to undertake a wide range of ongoing analysis covering all constituent parts of the UK to inform the UK’s position for the negotiation with the European partners. A key part of that understanding is the differences across the UK and across all sectors of the UK economy.</p><p> </p><p>We are committed to positive and productive engagement with the devolved administrations, local government and businesses as we seek a deal that works for the entire UK. Ministers and senior officials meet with financial services firms across the UK; Parliamentary Under Secretary of State, Robin Walker, recently met an insurance firm in Cardiff to discuss how EU exit will impact their company and the Welsh financial services sector. Financial services firms in all parts of the UK benefit from access to the European market and as we seek to negotiate our Future Partnership we will continue to engage all parts of the country.</p> answering member constituency Fareham answering member printed Suella Braverman question first answered 16/05/2018 16:50:05 answering member 4475 label Biography information for Suella Braverman
