The Financial Conduct Authority's board is throwing its weight behind plans to overhaul pay and conditions at the regulator, despite concerns from staff over potential cuts to bonuses and benefits.

Board minutes from a 19 August meeting, released on 29 September, show that the FCA's executive team planned to issue a statement of support for the proposed new employment terms. It would also step up efforts to explain its consultation on reforms to employees.
