Overview

Following the announcement of a General Election in the UK next month, we provide an outline of what the Labour Party, the Conservative Party and the Liberal Democrats have to say about financial services regulation and we describe the implications for business.

This is part of The Election Briefing by Norton Rose, which covers corporate governance, takeovers policy and company law; climate change and energy; competition (antitrust) and economic regulation; employment and equality; environment; financial services regulation; Islamic finance; media and electronic communications regulation; pensions; PFI and PPP; planning and local government; rail and tax.

This briefing examines the policies of the two major political parties in the area of financial services regulation and their implications for business.

In it, we cover: reforming the tripartite structure; financial stability; the Treasury and the Bank of England; executive remuneration; living wills; bank tax; short selling; consumer protection; the European dimension and the wider implications for business.
