To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what assessment her Department has made of the potential impact of the discussions on non-bank financial intermediation during the UK–US Financial Regulatory Working Group discussions, in June 2025, on UK financial stability planning.
On 3 June, HM Treasury hosted the US Treasury and regulators for the UK-US Financial Regulatory Working Group. The Joint Statement outlines the discussions, including on non-bank financial intermediation, and can be found here.
HM Treasury, the Bank of England and Financial Conduct Authority are working closely to monitor risks in and improve the resilience of the non-bank sector. Domestically, this work has included the Bank of England’s System Wide Exploratory Scenario which has improved our understanding of the behaviour of non-bank financial intermediaries during market stress, and the launch of the Contingent Non-Bank Repo Facility to provide liquidity to eligible non-banks in a stress. This is alongside a programme of policy work, including implementing a resolution regime for central counterparties and developing our UK money market fund reform programme.
UK authorities also take an active role on this internationally, including working with international partners at the Financial Stability Board (FSB) to assess risks and develop policy to enhance the resilience of the non-bank sector.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what regulatory actions were taken in the United Kingdom in connection with HSBC as a consequence of the fines imposed in the United States in response to its involvement in money laundering on behalf of Mexican drug cartels.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government what regulatory actions were taken in the United Kingdom in connection with HSBC as a consequence of the fines imposed in the United States in response to its involvement in money laundering on behalf of Mexican drug cartels.
I can confirm to the Noble Lord that the information I provided him in response to his written question answered on 17th June 2013 remains accurate:
US investigations and enforcement action on HSBC focused on their subsidiaries in the US. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has no direct supervisory remit over these HSBC entities.
However, in conjunction with the action taken by the US, the (then) FSA, as lead regulator for the HSBC Group globally, made a number of requirements of HSBC Holdings plc, designed to ensure that all parts of the HSBC Group are compliant with the relevant legal and regulatory requirements across the Group to prevent similar failings occurring in future.
This included requiring a committee of the HSBC Board to oversee matters relating to anti-money laundering, sanctions, terrorist financing and proliferation financing; requiring the Group to revise its policies and procedures to ensure that all parts of the HSBC Group are subject to standards equivalent to those required under UK requirements; HSBC employing an independent monitor to oversee the Group's compliance with UK anti-money laundering, sanctions, terrorist financing and proliferation financing requirements and to provide independent reporting to the HSBC Board committee and regulators. HSBC Holdings was also required to appoint a Group Money Laundering Reporting Officer (MLRO), with responsibility for ensuring that systems and controls are in place across the Group.
The FCA is closely monitoring the implementation of these requirements by HSBC.
