Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many complaints have been made about credit rating agencies; how many investigations the Financial Conduct Authority has launched into the performance of credit rating agencies; how many investigations the Information Commissioner's Office has launched into the performance of credit rating agencies; and if he will make a statement.

This question has been passed on to the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and the Information Commissioner's Office (ICO). The FCA and ICO will reply directly to the Honourable member by letter. A copy of the letters will be placed in the Library of the House.
