[Ended] 12pm, Wednesday 31 August

The Financial Services and Markets Bill is scheduled for its Second Reading on Wednesday 7 September. To help you understand the Bill's approach to delegated powers and Retained EU Law (REUL), the Hansard Society research team held a free Twitter Space covering a number of key questions, including:

  • What are the Government's proposals for modifying and revoking Retained EU Law relating to financial services?

  • How can Parliament hold financial services regulators to account given the new powers laid out in the Bill?

  • How does the Bill fit within the wider delegated legislation system?
