Although he did not provide a timeline, the City minister said the consultation will come "quite soon".

He told Bloomberg News: "When the consultation comes out, there will then be a debate about exactly how best to get that strong foundation for institutions that may not be covered at the moment."

Afolami added the government will also launch a plethora of measures to reduce regulatory burdens as well as a series of consultations.

He also addressed the Treasury Select Committee's recent criticism of the Edinburgh Reforms, which called the changes a "damp squib", explaining that it will take time for the reforms to "bed in".
