Policy heads at two of London’s biggest banks have told a top Brussels lawmaker that there needs to be  more “common sense” rule-making ahead of the UK’s split from the European Union.

Alan Houmann, the head of Citigroup’s government affairs team in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, and Karin Dohm, global head of government and regulatory affairs at Deutsche Bank, on Thursday urged EU regulators to put politics aside and focus on helping banks navigate Brexit.
