The Sub-Committee notes the proposed establishment of a Lord’s Committee on Financial Service Regulation. While its remit is a matter for the House of Lords, duplication of work should be avoided. The Sub-Committee will continue to carry out its scrutiny of new regulatory consultations as and when they are published. The full Committee will naturally continue to consider the wider context of the regulators work, as it has always done. Consideration of the existing acquis could prove a rich seam of work for the Lord’s Committee.
