00:05about the Financial Conduct Authority and plans to massively increase the size of its
00:10office in Leeds. The FCA has issued a statement this morning in which it says it works on
00:16behalf of the whole of the UK and supports financial services in all parts of the country.
00:23Since 2021, the FCA has doubled the size of its office in Edinburgh and opened an office
00:28in Leeds. Together, these two offices are now the base for nearly 11% of its workforce.
