A consultation document on the draft Bill was published in July 1998. I have today published a Progress Report with the main issues raised on the consultation, and the Government's reaction. I am placing copies in the Vote Office and the Libraries of the House. A Joint Committee on Financial Services and Markets has been appointed to report on the Government's proposals.
