Enid Rowlands said there had been “a lot of anxiety in the profession” about the issue, but the regulator had avoided the Scottish situation, where an extra 500 pages had been added to the rules. “It could have gone another way,” she told a press briefing after this week’s SRA board meeting. “The FCA could have dug in its heels”.
