The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what steps her Department is taking to help prevent companies de-listing in London.

Answered by Emma Reynolds

We have already delivered an ambitious set of reforms to boost the competitiveness of UK markets including overhauling the Listing Rules, providing more flexibility to firms and founders raising capital. 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, which will be published at Mansion House on 15 July 2025.
