answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/03/2024 answer text <p>The financial regulators’ primary focus must be to ensure the safety, soundness and integrity of the markets they regulate. While the government expects that the Bank will play a crucial role in supporting the achievement of the government’s net zero target, it is not their primary responsibility given many of the levers for change sit outside of financial services regulation.</p><p> </p><p>However, the Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 introduced a new regulatory principle for the Financial Conduct Authority, Bank of England and Payment Systems Regulator to consider in their work. To further strengthen the UK’s regulatory regime relating to climate and the environment, the government has embedded the consideration of the UK’s climate and environmental targets across the full breadth of the regulators’ general functions on a statutory basis.</p><p> </p><p>This regulatory principle seeks to cement the government’s long-term commitment to transform the economy in line with its target to reach net zero by 2050, and to make progress towards the government’s long-term environmental goals, by ensuring the regulators must have regard to the government’s commitment to achieve these targets when discharging their functions.</p><p> </p><p>This principle does not create any specific requirements on firms. Rather, they are expected to inform the future work of the regulators.</p> answering member constituency Hitchin and Harpenden answering member printed Bim Afolami question first answered 07/03/2024 14:18:34 answering member 4639 label Biography information for Bim Afolami

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/06/2021 answer text <p>The Government is preparing guidance to support local authorities ahead of the rollout of the £1.5 billion business rates relief fund. The final guidance, its specifics and level of prescription, will reflect considerations including the existing framework of Government support, information held by local authorities and their capacity to administer the scheme.</p><p> </p><p>This discretionary relief pot will support businesses on the basis of their actual economic exposure to COVID-19 rather than the pandemic’s hypothetical impact on property rental values. The alternative of prolonged litigation and appeals through the Material Change of Circumstance provision could have taken years. The Government will support local authorities to enable ratepayers to apply for relief awards as soon as possible this year, once the legislation relating to Material Change of Circumstance provisions has passed, and local authorities have set up local relief schemes.</p> answering member constituency Hereford and South Herefordshire answering member printed Jesse Norman grouped question UIN 16982 question first answered 21/06/2021 14:31:35 answering member 3991 label Biography information for Jesse Norman
