Financial services executives should be seconded to UK regulators to help with the “additional burden” of Brexit, a group of financial law specialists has said.

“We note the additional burden on regulators from their increased powers [arising from Brexit] and would recommend full consideration is given to their resources,” said a response from the International Regulatory Strategy Group to the Treasury’s consultation into the post-Brexit future for UK financial regulation.
