FCA, PRA and HMT respond to HoL FSRC report on financial services competitiveness and growth

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA), Prudential Regulation Authority (PRA), and HM Treasury (HMT) have published letters in response to the House of Lords Financial Services Regulation Committee’s (FSRC) June 2025 report ‘Growing Pains: clarity and culture change required’, which examined how financial regulators are embedding their secondary objective to promote international competitiveness and growth . The responses outline reforms to authorisation processes, supervisory models, rule simplification and redress systems. The FCA also addressed questions on its proposed motor finance redress scheme.

FCA response to HoL FRSC confirms scope and modelling approach for proposed motor finance redress scheme

The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) has published a letter by its chief executive, Nikhil Rathi, in response to the House of Lords Financial Services Regulation Committee’s (FSRC) questions on the proposed motor finance redress scheme. The FCA stated that complaints dating back to 2007 may be eligible, referencing Canada Square Operations Ltd v Potter [2023] UKSC 41, which held that deliberate concealment of commission arrangements can suspend the statutory limitation period under the Consumer Credit Act 1974. It indicated that a structured redress scheme may offer a more consistent and efficient approach than resolving complaints through litigation or the Financial Ombudsman Service (FOS), and noted that while the Court of Appeal’s October 2024 ruling caused short-term disruption, the motor finance market has since stabilised. A cost-benefit analysis and further modelling is set to be published alongside the consultation in October 2025.
