To ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer, how many employees, excluding third-party contractors, (a) began employment with and (b) ceased employment with the Financial Conduct Authority in each month in the period (i) May 2019 to February 2020 inclusive and (ii) August 2021 to May 2022 inclusive.

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) is operationally independent from the Government. Questions about the FCA’s day to day decision making, including details about its employees, are matters for the independent FCA.

These questions have therefore been passed to the FCA who will respond directly to the honourable member by letter. A copy of the letter will be placed in the Library of the House.
