"Andrew Bailey’s consultation document will be raised with him when he comes before the Committee next month.

At a quick read it looks like a robust attempt to give the FCA a much clearer sense of direction. It also attempts to identify what the FCA cannot reasonably be expected to do. Both are certainly needed. So is the greater transparency about its decisions and choice of priorities, promised in the FCA's consultation document."
