"If we do not have domestic capital investing in domestic businesses, we will not see the growth that this government is so rightly focused on," he added. "For me, pension reform is the way to unlock growth in the U.K.," Lee told "Squawk Box Europe."

Britain's Financial Conduct Authority said on Friday it had fined Santander £107.7 million ($132 million) for "serious and persistent" gaps in the Spanish bank's anti-money laundering controls for more than 560,000 business customers. The FCA said that between 31 December 2012 and 18 October 2017, Santander's U.K. arm failed to properly oversee and manage its anti-money laundering systems. Santander had ineffective systems to adequately verify the information provided by customers about the business they would be doing, the FCA said. Santander U.K. said it accepted the FCA's civil regulatory findings in relation to anti-money laundering controls in its business banking division. The FCA investigation has now concluded and no further action is anticipated by the U.K. watchdog or any other authority in respect of this matter, the bank said.
