UK govt spokesman out with a statement 19 July

  • will meet tomorrow (Thurs) for first time
  • will be attended by business leaders representing a range of sectors
  • council to be chaired by PM May
  • will be a regular dedicated forum for high-level engagement between UK govt and business
  • attendees for each meeting will change on a rolling basis
  • UK will probably need to set up fewer than 10 new regulators after Brexit

Let's hope it serves some real purpose rather than being just a token gesture.

I wonder if they might want someone from the foreign exchange industry?!
