The question

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, what the annual budget was for the (a) Payment Systems Regulator and (b) Financial Ombudsman Service in each year since 2005.

Answered by Lucy Rigby

These are matters for the Financial Conduct Authority, the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Payment Systems Regulator and the Financial Ombudsman Service , which are operationally independent from Government. These organisations will each respond to the Honourable Member by letter, and a copy of the letters will be placed in the Library of the House of Commons.
