The Financial Services and Markets Act 2023 (FSMA 23) repeals assimilated law for financial services in order to deliver a Smarter Regulatory Framework (SRF) which is tailored to the UK. Assimilated law will be replaced with rules set by our independent and expert regulators, operating within a framework set by government and Parliament.
At Mansion House 2023, following on from the Edinburgh Reforms, HM Treasury published a paper Building a Smarter Financial Services Framework for the UK: HM Treasury’s Plan for Delivery. That document included a forward look on Tranches 1 and 2 of the programme and how HM Treasury will deliver targeted policy change through the repeal and replacement of assimilated law. This follow-up paper sets out detail on the next phase of the programme.
