Speaking in the House of Lords on 24 June 2026

Debate

Financial Services and Markets Bill [HL]

Contribution

Amendment 54 concerns the service-user objective. I recognise the importance of inclusion, redress, access to cash, choice and interoperability. However, the Bill gives the FCA a broad service-user objective, alongside innovation and competition objectives equivalent in substance to those held by the PSR. Listing specific matters in statute risks narrowing that objective and limiting future flexibility.
