Further information on the Government\u2019s efforts to promote Fintech can be found in the Fintech Sector Strategy, published in March 2018.<\/p>"}

The government is delivering its commitment to hypothecate English Vehicle Excise Duty to roads spending, and has announced that the National Roads Fund will be £28.8 billion between 2020-25.
