The Financial Services Practitioner Panel has urged brokers and insurers to respond to its survey on the FSA's performance as regulator.

Panel chairman Roy Leighton said: “So far, we have received a good response to the 10,000 questionnaires that were sent in June to the chief executives or principals of all relationship-managed firms, and to a sample of smaller firms and M&GI firms.

“If your firm received the questionnaire but has not yet responded, I would strongly urge you to do so by the deadline of 15th August.”

Not all firms have been selected to receive the questionnaire.

Leighton added: “Past surveys have proven to be an effective tool for communicating industry concerns, and have had a substantial, direct impact on front-line FSA policy-making and operational decisions. The higher the response rate, the more authoritative and convincing the survey results will be.”
