The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is an operationally independent non-governmental body responsible for regulating and supervising the financial services industry. The FCA has statutory immunity from claims for damages under the Financial Services and Markets Act 2000. The Government believes this is important in allowing the FCA to take a robust approach to regulation and to focus its resources on pursuing its objectives without the distraction of claims that may frustrate these efforts, or the risk that firms can delay supervisory interventions through vexatious litigation. The FCA\u2019s ability to act robustly is important to millions of consumers across the country.<\/p>

<\/p>

Given this statutory immunity, it is vital that those directly affected by the FCA\u2019s actions have an avenue to have matters put right where the FCA has failed in carrying out its role. The Financial Services Act 2012 requires that the FCA establishes a complaints scheme and appoints, with the Treasury\u2019s approval, an independent person (the Complaints Commissioner) who can investigate complaints.<\/p>

<\/p>

The complaints scheme is an informal mechanism for investigating complaints and ensuring that there is transparency around the way the FCA operates whilst not undermining the principle of the FCA\u2019s statutory immunity. The activities of the Complaints Commissioner are governed by the framework set out in legislation and in the regulators\u2019 Complaints Scheme. The Complaints Commissioner has powers to recommend the payment of compensation by the FCA and to require the FCA to publish its response to any recommendation that the Complaints Commissioner makes. The Complaints Commissioner does not have powers to compel the FCA to pay compensation. It is not a court, nor is there a right of appeal for the FCA if the investigator makes an adverse finding against it. The FCA remains solely accountable for the decisions it makes over how to use its funds.<\/p>

<\/p>

The FCA is a self-financing organisation funded via a levy on financial services firms, which is set by the FCA to cover its funding requirement each year following consultation. The Government has no role in the FCA\u2019s budgeting or the setting of the levy. The FCA, like other public authorities, has the ability to make compensation payments on a voluntary (\u2018ex gratia\u2019) basis. The FCA publishes their approach to these payments as part of the information on their complaints scheme.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4874", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Andrew Griffith"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Arundel and South Downs"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Andrew Griffith"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-09-23", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "groupedQuestionUIN" : [{"_value" : "49704"} , {"_value" : "49705"} ], "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-09-23T05:14:05.463Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-09-08", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Financial Conduct Authority: Liability"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of removing the Financial Conduct Authority's exemption from civil liability.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4432", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Patrick Grady"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Glasgow North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Patrick Grady"} ], "uin" : "49703"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1506178", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Treasury"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1506178/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "

The Government is committed to ensuring that consumers of financial services are appropriately protected whilst preserving the competitiveness of the UK financial services sector.<\/p>

The Financial Services Act 2021 required the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) to consult on whether it should make rules giving regulated financial service providers a duty of care over their customers. This was in response to concerns from Parliamentarians, who wanted to reduce levels of consumer harm in financial services.<\/p>

Following extensive engagement with stakeholders, the FCA published a final Policy Statement on 27 July 2022 on its new Consumer Duty. The Consumer Duty will clarify and raise expectations for the standard of care that should be provided by financial services firms to consumers, and ensure consumers benefit from a higher level of care from financial services firms.<\/p>

The FCA, as an operationally independent regulator, is responsible for implementing and enforcing its Consumer Duty rules. It would not be appropriate for the government to comment on the specific rules introduced by the FCA.<\/p>

The UK Government and the Devolved Administrations committed to carry out a review of Bread and Flour Regulations across the UK. The key proposals for change are outlined in a public consultation published on 1 September 2022 which is open for responses until 23 November 2022. The proposals address the most pressing aspects identified for change including the addition of mandatory folic acid to flour to prevent neural tube defects in foetuses. Full ingredient listing is already required for all prepacked foods with loose foods subject to certain derogations for practical reasons.

The UK works closely with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) to support refugees in Ethiopia, including Eritrean refugees. Between 2016 and 2022 the UK contributed £34.8 million to assistance to refugees in Ethiopia in partnership with UNHCR. The British Embassy in Addis Ababa speaks regularly to the Government of Ethiopia, separately and in coordination with other countries about the safety, security and access to rights of all refugees in Ethiopia, including Eritreans.<\/p>

The return to conflict between the Tigray People's Liberation Front (TPLF) and the Ethiopian Government is catastrophic for the people of Ethiopia. Conflict is increasing displacement and making humanitarian access even more difficult.

The UK works closely with the UN High Commissioner for Refugees (UNCHR) to support refugees in Ethiopia, including Eritrean refugees. Between 2016 and 2022 the UK contributed £34.8 million to assistance to refugees in Ethiopia in partnership with UNHCR. The British Embassy in Addis Ababa speaks regularly to the Government of Ethiopia, separately and in coordination with other countries about the safety, security and access to rights of all refugees in Ethiopia, including Eritreans.<\/p>
