Hunt will also seek to roll back a European Union-era securities law, Treasury said.
UK is set to approve recommendations in Rachel Kent's Independent Research Report, paving the way for a new "Research Platform" to provide a one-stop-shop for firms looking for research experts, the statement added.
UK had last year announced the launch of the Investment Research Review - an independent review of financial services investment research and its contribution to UK capital markets competitiveness, headed by Kent.
The approval also sets the way for potentially removing unbundling rules – an inherited EU law that requires brokers to charge a separate fee for research.
"We will not countenance tax cuts if they make the battle against inflation harder," the newspaper quoted Hunt as saying.
