HC Deb 09 July 1996 vol 281 cc97-8W
Mr. French

To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer if he will list the regulatory organisations within his Department which have responsibility in relation to composite insurance companies. [36034]

Mrs. Angela Knight

The Treasury has no direct regulatory responsibilities for composite insurance companies as such. However, marketing of life business, including that of composite insurance companies, is regulated under the Financial Services Act 1986 for which the Treasury has policy responsibility. The main FSA regulators responsible for life business are the Securities and Investments Board, the Personal Investment Authority and the Insurance Brokers Registration Council.
