Andrew Tyrie, the chairman of the Treasury Select Committee has warned of a "significant risk" to financial services businesses if passporting rights into the EU are lost (HERE). He produces figures on the committee website showing there are 5,476 firms in the UK with 336,421 passports.
This story also appeared elsewhere with someone suggesting loss of passporting would impact the EU more than the UK because 8,008 EU firms have passporting rights. What this report didn't say was that this larger number of EU firms has only 25,532 passports in total.
