To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, with reference to Republika Srpska raising £350 million on the London Stock Exchange, what steps the Government has taken to prevent entities potentially seeking to undermine international agreements from using the London Stock Exchange to raise funds.

The Financial Conduct Authority is the competent authority for listings on regulated markets in the UK, such as the London Stock Exchange. Companies seeking to admit securities to the Official List must apply to the UK Listing Authority, a division of the Financial Conduct Authority. A decision as to whether or not to grant an application for listing is entirely a matter for the Financial Conduct Authority.
