When he was Chancellor, Gordon Brown established the Financial Services Authority to regulate the City. In 2005, the Centre for Policy Studies published an open letter to the then Chief Executive of the FSA, which brought together the viewpoints of a wide range of City practioners.

Harriett Baldwin led the team that conducted the interviews.
