Following the Bank of England’s 2017 stress test, the FPC said that regulatory capital buffers for individual firms should now be set so that each bank can absorb losses on consumer lending, alongside all the other effects of the stress test on its balance sheet. This will ensure lenders are resilient to any defaults related to consumer credit.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 22/05/2018 15:57:01 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

Migrants may increase productivity either through a simple ‘batting average’ effect if they work in higher productivity roles relative to the average for non-migrants, or through increasing the productivity of UK workers through greater specialisation and knowledge transfer.</p> answering member constituency Chelsea and Fulham answering member printed Greg Hands question first answered 23/03/2016 14:36:14 answering member 1526 label Biography information for Greg Hands
