The government engages regularly with the banking industry and those affected by de-risking in order to facilitate communication. The aim of this is to improve banks\u2019 understanding of how affected sectors work and to improve affected sectors\u2019 understanding of how they can best meet the banks\u2019 requirements for providing services. This process has led to the British Bankers\u2019 Association developing tailored \u2018access to banking\u2019 guidance for affected sectors.<\/p>

<\/p>

The government continues to work with the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), who recently published research into the withdrawal of banking services. The FCA are also working with the banking industry to lessen the damaging effects of de-risking without constraining banks\u2019 commercial freedom.<\/p>

<\/p>

Internationally, the UK has been instrumental in making de-risking a priority for the G20 and the Financial Stability Board. The government is working with the Bank of England and the FCA on internationally agreed guidance to financial institutions that will clarify regulatory expectations, making their responsibilities clearer to allow a more risk-based approach and better appraisal of risks.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4536", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord O'Neill of Gatley"} } , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Lord O'Neill of Gatley"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2016-07-25", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2016-07-25T08:49:40.09Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "14"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Treasury"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "CaTreasury"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2016-07-13", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Bank Services"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "2"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25277", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Lords"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask Her Majesty\u2019s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord O\u2019Neill of Gatley on 12 July (HL883), what steps they are taking with regard to the withdrawal of banking services to encourage banks to take a risk-based approach and to ensure that the measures they take are effective and proportionate; and what assessment they have made of the extent to which that encouragement has been effective.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4196", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Lord Sharkey"} } , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Lord Sharkey"} ], "uin" : "HL1196"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/536137", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/536137/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
