Question to the HM Treasury:
To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the fine issued by the US Department of Justice to Goldman Sachs for its role in a conspiracy to bribe high-ranking foreign officials to obtain business, what discussions they have had with financial regulators in the UK about investigating Goldman Sachs for any similar practices in the UK.
The Treasury discusses a wide variety of issues with the FCA regularly. However, the Treasury has no general power of direction over the FCA and any enforcement decisions by the FCA are independent of government.
