Q Mr Jackson, you said earlier that Singapore had forward regulation. Some of us on the Committee might see that as meaning that it is less robust than what the EU is proposing. I have heard Singapore and offshore tax havens used as some kind of comparator for UK regulation. Do you think that it is useful for us to use, say, Singapore—a one-party state, effectively—and offshore tax havens as a comparator for good regulation?
