The paper will be examine the key actors and institutions both in the public and private sphere, what relationships have formed between lobbying actors and the British government and other relevant actors such as the European Union, what the aims and goals of the Financial sector are in the context of Brexit, have these aims manifested (if they have at all), are there discrepancies between Private inputs and Public outputs, and what can be done about addressing inequalities of access from different sectors if there are any.
