Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Mr Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many commercial debt management companies have been authorised by the Financial Conduct Authority in the last five years.
This is an operational matter for the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), which is operationally independent from Government.
The questions have been passed on to the FCA. The FCA will reply directly to the Honourable gentleman by letter. A copy of the letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
