The Committee will examine what the Government’s financial services priorities should be when it negotiates the UK’s future trading relationship with the EU and third countries. It will also look at how the UK’s financial services sector can take advantage of the UK’s new trading environment with the rest of the world, and whether the UK should maintain the current regulatory barriers that apply to third countries.
