Further evidence from BIS

  On division of responsibilities between HMT, BIS and others, overall responsibility for banking regulation lies with the Tripartite structure (the Treasury, the Financial Services Authority and the Bank of England). The FSA is responsible for the capital resource requirements applying to banks. The EU Capital requirements Directive and the recommendations of the Basel Committee on Banking Supervision are also relevant here, but the current requirements imposed by the FSA go further than either of these.

  BIS does not lead on this area and as the Secretary of State mentioned in answering Nicky Morgan's question (71) the Treasury clearly has major responsibilities in the banking sector, not least because the Financial Services Authority reports to the Treasury and therefore the Treasury has overall specific responsibility for the regulatory environment affecting banks as well as bank taxation. BIS does have other specific responsibilities with respect to the banking sector: for instance, governance, competition, consumer protection, and access to finance for businesses.

  As for the issue of capital requirements inhibiting lending, they impact on lending because they stipulate how much core Tier 1 capital (ie equity) banks must hold for a given volume of assets (ie loans). An increase in the capital requirement reduces the amount that banks have available to lend, or forces them to find other ways of raising capital (eg through a rights issue).

1)  Provisional numbers for 2009-10 are not comparable with previous years. There can be significant variation between provisional and final estimates and typically these numbers can be expected to be revised upwards. While subsequent revisions to 2009-10 data may be different from previous years, in 2008-09 the final number of starts was up to approximately 1.8% higher than the provisional number at a similar point.

2)  The following data sources have been used; Work-based learning (WBL)—2007-08 and earlier years (W13 final), 2008-09 (E13 final), 2009-10 (E10 04/06/10).

3)  Volumes are rounded to the nearest hundred.

4)  "-" Indicates a base value of less than 50.

5)  Unlike participation figures, figures for 2008-09 and 2009-10 are comparable with earlier years as demand led funding rules are not applied to achievements.

6)  Full-year numbers are a count of the number of achievements at any point during the year. Learners achieving more than one framework will appear more than once.

7)  Higher Level Apprenticeships are included with Advanced Apprenticeships. Programme-Led Apprenticeships recorded in WBL ILR returns are included in the above figures.
