Regulation Of Hedge Funds

EDM number 1835 in 2008-09, proposed by Bob Spink on 08/07/2009.
Categorised under the topics of EU law and treaties and Financial services.

That this House expresses concern at the European Commission's proposed regulation of hedge funds; notes that the draft directive will restrict non-EU funds which could provoke a transatlantic regulatory war; and urges the Government to intervene on behalf of the UK's financial sector and maintain London's position as a global financial centre and not solely a European financial centre.

This motion has been signed by a total of 8 MPs.
