Accountability of regulators Regulator engagement with HM Treasury, external stakeholders, and Parliament Engagement with stakeholders Publication of consultation respondents
This measure applies to the FCA, PRA, PSR, and the Bank in its regulation of certain financial market infrastructures.
	The scope of this measure is limited to the financial services regulators, reflecting the existing specific requirements in FSMA 2000 and the Financial Services (Banking Reform) Act 2013 in relation to how they must conduct consultations.
	The Act introduces a new statutory requirement for the regulators to include a list of respondents to their public consultations as part of their response to the consultation. This requirement is intended to enhance transparency around who responded to the consultation, and whose views the regulators have taken into account when making new rules. This is expected to enable more effective scrutiny of the regulators’ operations.
	Respondents will be required to opt-in to having their name published. This maintains the ability for individual respondents to respond confidentially if they wish to, so as not to deter potential respondents.
