Tonight I was delighted to attend the City of London Parliamentary Reception, kindly hosted by the Rt. Hon. Mark Field MP. It was an opportunity to talk to MPs and peers from all parties about the challenges and opportunities facing the City. I was able to discuss issues facing us when we leave the EU covering competition law, professional services post Brexit, geographic protections, insurance services, and patent law with parliamentarians looking at these issues. It was particularly pleasing to discuss London issues as a whole with former Lord Mayor Sir David Wotton, and former Deputy Mayor of Greater London Kit Malthouse MP. A valuable evening and one where all left with a clear sense of issues we need to address.
