To ask His Majesty's Government, following the revision of the rules agreed by Brussels on derivatives trading, what assessment they have made on the impact this will have on the UK's financial services market.

The UK has one of the world’s most robust regulatory regimes for central counterparties, and the government has taken forward work to further strengthen that regime, given our commitment to high regulatory standards.
It is an international norm for jurisdictions to rely on each other’s market infrastructure. The government therefore sees no reason of substance why the UK cannot or should not continue to provide clearing services for countries in the EU and around the world.
