Committee examines future of financial services as negotiations continue

Purpose of the session

In 2018 financial services contributed £132 billion to the UK economy, representing 6.9% of total economic output. In this session, the Committee will hear views from across the sector as the end of the transition period approaches, and the UK and EU continue to negotiate their future relationship.

Questions are expected to focus on issues such as equivalence, data adequacy, as well as preparations for either outcome in the negotiations on those matters important to financial services and the related professional and business services sector. The Committee will question representatives from UK Finance, techUK and PwC.

Witnesses and Committee members will participate remotely.
