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
