City minister tells bankers to prove worth and secure better Brexit

Newly-appointed John Glen calls on financial services and government to show the value of the industry

City minister tells bankers to prove worth and secure better Brexit

Bankers must prove the value they add to their "friends, family and neighbours" to help the UK's finance sector secure a good Brexit, the new City minister has said.

The comments by John Glen, who was appointed the Economic Secretary to the Treasury in January, come as the UK prepares for the crucial next stage of Brexit talks to begin in March. These will focus on determining the future trading relationship between the EU and the UK, which will include a deal for the financial services sector.
