The head of the Financial Conduct Authority said he is "prepared to turn away" any company that does not meet the required standards for listing in the UK.

Andrew Bailey, the FCA's chief executive, made the comment while being quizzed by MPs on new proposals to change listing rules, which is widely seen as an attempt to attract the giant Saudi Aramco IPO to London.
