Question to the HM Treasury:

To ask His Majesty's Government whether their Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy will include policies to encourage more firms to list on the London Stock Exchange.

At Mansion House 2024, the Chancellor published a call for evidence on the first-ever Financial Services Growth and Competitiveness Strategy. The call for evidence focussed on how to deliver long-term, sustainable and inclusive growth, with UK capital markets (including retail investment) identified as a priority growth opportunity. The final Strategy will be published later this year.

Alongside this, the government is already undertaking an ambitious programme of reforms to improve the competitiveness of UK markets.
