§ 19. Mr. HobanTo ask the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry what assessment she has made of the number of financial services jobs being exported to(a) Eastern Europe and (b) Asia. [149750]
§ Ms HewittWe do not have official figures for the number of financial services jobs being offshored. We are addressing this issue through seeking views from parties interested in offshoring as part of our consultation exercise. In recognising the economic and social importance of this issue, we are also looking at how we can improve data collection.
