HM Treasury is considering its approach to licensing to see if any changes are required to the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation\u2019s (OFSI) licensing practice in relation to legal fees licence applications.

HM Treasury does not comment on specific licensing cases. We will update Parliament appropriately on the wider considerations in due course.<\/p>
