The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to prevent companies from de-listing from the London Stock Exchange.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

Answered by Emma Reynolds

The government is committed to reinvigorating our capital markets to deliver growth, supporting firms to start, scale, list and stay in the UK.

We have already delivered an ambitious set of reforms including overhauling the Prospectus regime and Listing Rules, providing more flexibility to firms and founders raising capital on UK markets. To create a stable regulatory environment, and complementing these reforms, the government is also establishing a 10-year strategy for financial services, with capital markets as a core pillar.
