Chinese mobile games firm Skymoons has launched a studio in Edinburgh, with plans to create an initial 21 highly-skilled games development jobs.

It is thought to be the first time a Chinese company has invested in the games industry in Scotland.
The new studio, which will be led by former Reloaded Productions managing director Michael Boniface, plans to develop a multi-player online game.
Scottish Development International helped to facilitate the move.
Mr Boniface said: "The establishment of Skymoons' new studio in Scotland is a game changer, and an exciting opportunity for those who make up the strong resource of locally-based talent.
"I am very pleased to be representing Skymoons in this venture and will be recruiting new staff shortly, aiming for all 21 jobs to be filled by the end of June."
First established in Chengdu, Skymoons Digital Entertainment Co is an established publisher of mobile games in China. It is looking to expand in the global digital entertainment market.
Business and Innovation Minister Paul Wheelhouse said: "This is a great example of international investment in Scotland's growing digital economy and a good example of Scottish Development International support.
"Scotland is known around the world for our dynamic and successful creative industries - having produced some of the best known and bestselling games in the world.
"This investment will help create a very welcome outcome for Edinburgh's games development sector. "


Port Vale goalkeeper Miguel Santos has had his contract with the managerless League One club terminated by mutual consent.

The 22-year-old Portuguese filled in for first-choice Jak Alnwick when he went off injured in Saturday's FA Cup third-round defeat at Huddersfield.
But three of the Terriers' four goals came after Alnwick's departure.
And that substitute appearance proved to be the last of Santos's three outings for Vale's first-team.
Santos was one of the string of signings made by Vale boss Bruno Ribeiro when he arrived in Burslem in the summer, prior to his abrupt departure on Boxing Day.
"Miguel actually asked to leave the day after Bruno went, so it wasn't a surprise," Vale chairman Norman Smurthwaite told BBC Radio Stoke. "You saw on Saturday when he came on that his heart wasn't really in it. He asked again, so I said 'let him go'. So he's gone."
Vale caretaker boss Michael Brown is still to determine the full extent of the injuries suffered on Saturday by Alnwick and key defender Remie Streete, who went off with a hamstring injury six minutes before half-time.
Alnwick resumed after suffering a suspected fractured cheekbone when he collided with a post, only to then suffer a further ankle injury with the tie still in the balance at 1-0.
That forced him to be substituted on 59 minutes, to be replaced by summer signing Santos, after which Vale conceded three more goals to lose 4-0.
"To lose Jak with a fractured cheekbone possibly, and a severe ankle injury which could keep him out longer than the cheekbone, it becomes very difficult," Brown told BBC Radio Stoke. "And Remie Streete has a hamstring, so these are the times that are testing for us."
Vale still have young keepers Ryan Boot and Harry Pickering to choose from, although Sam Johnson is out on loan at FC Halifax and not allowed to return under new loan regulations.
As for defender Ryan Taylor, whose short-term contract expires after the home game with Bury on 20 January, the former Newcastle United defender has told BBC Radio Stoke that he hopes to have his future sorted within the next 10 days.
Meanwhile, young midfielder Ryan Lloyd, who has just renewed his loan at National League side Chester, has been tipped as a Vale first-team contender next season by Chester boss Jon McCarthy.
"I hope Port Vale recognise what he's doing and they give him his chance next season," McCarthy told BBC Radio Merseyside. "I'd love nothing more than things to work out for the lad and for him to play at that level.
"There are a host of clubs interested in Ryan, but he chose to stay here," added former Vale winger McCarthy. "Southport offered him a two-and-a-half year contract. We just did our best to get as close as we could to what they offered."


While Scotland coach Gordon Strachan will be facing Lithuania as a manager for the first time on Saturday, the Tartan Army are very well acquainted with the northern European republic.

Here, BBC Sport looks back at the previous meetings between the Scots and an often awkward Baltic opponent.
Scotland have twice opened European Championship qualifying campaigns with 0-0 draws in Lithuania.
Fresh from their appearance at the France 1998 World Cup, Craig Brown's side travelled to Vilnius for the first meeting between the nations, with Lithuania having become independent from the Soviet Union in the early 1990s.
A fresh-faced Barry Ferguson made his Scotland debut after breaking into the Rangers team while another more familiar face, Ally McCoist, was back in the international reckoning.
Former Ibrox forward McCoist had missed out on World Cup selection but a recent hat-trick with new club Kilmarnock against Hearts prompted a recall.
Sadly, for both Ferguson and McCoist, there was no way through a stubborn Lithuanian side.
It was a similar story 12 years later in Kaunas when Craig Levein's Scotland opened their ill-fated Euro 2012 qualifying campaign. Conservatism was the winner as both sides settled for a point.
Saulius Mikoliunas' relationship with Scottish football fans never quite recovered from an infamous 'dive' during a match at Hampden in 2007.
Alex McLeish's Scotland were well in the mix for qualification to Euro 2008 but needed a home win to maintain their momentum.
Kris Boyd set the ball rolling with the opening goal but, as the BBC Sport match report from the day says, "Mikoliunas flung himself to the ground" when challenged by Scottish skipper Darren Fletcher and Tomas Danilevicus converted the resulting penalty.
Justice was done, however, with Stephen McManus and James McFadden netting late goals to secure a 3-1 win.
The reputation of Mikoliunas, then of Hearts, somewhat went before him in many of his subsequent domestic appearances, with opposition fans only too willing to remind him of his infamous contribution at Hampden.
Berti Vogts had little to enjoy during his tenure as Scotland manager and a 1-0 defeat in Kaunas was an especially lamentable loss.
Tomas Razanauskas' penalty gave Lithuania their first and, to date, only victory over the Scots.
Post-match, Vogts would describe the victors as "very, very lucky".
His team would atone for that loss with a solitary-goal victory at Hampden, Fletcher netting the winner, and Scotland would eventually reach the Euro 2004 play-offs.
Scotland, under Brown, previously reached the Euro 2000 play-offs and a 3-0 home win over Lithuania was an important stepping stone.
Walter Smith's Scotland won 2-1 in Kaunas in 2006, with the hosts scoring late, and Levein's side were 1-0 winners at Hampden almost five years ago to the day thanks to a Steven Naismith strike.
Following Saturday's ninth meeting with Lithuania, Scotland have an away date in Slovakia on Tuesday. The game in Trnava will mark the first encounter between the nations.
With no historical baggage to pack, spirits will be lifted further for a tough trip to Group F's second seeds if a familiar foe is vanquished at the weekend.


Google's Motorola division has begun selling its highly anticipated circular smartwatch, the Moto 360.

The firm said it believed the model offered a stylish design after what it suggested had been a series of unappealing wearable tech launches by its rivals.
The release of the watch comes at a time of transition for the business.
Sales of Motorola's smartphones are on the rebound and the business as a whole is about to switch ownership to Lenovo.
But while analysts have been generally positive about the look of the new timepiece, they expressed doubts about its potential to become a bestseller.
Motorola also unveiled new smartphones and a small Bluetooth earbud designed to allow owners to interact with their handset by voice.
The Moto 360 features a 1.5in (3.8cm) LCD touchscreen encircled by a thin metal band.
The waterproof device is powered by Google's new Android Wear operating system - which is designed for small screens - and also features a built-in heart rate monitor and pedometer step counter, but no proprietary sleep monitoring software.
It only lasts about a day between charges. The version already on sale in the US has leather straps, and versions with metal bands will follow. The watch will be released in the UK in October.
The firm's president, Rick Osterloh, suggested it was a clear improvement on competitors' earlier models.
"I think the first watches that shipped have been really bad," he said.
"A number of manufacturers were willing to ship products that I felt were not appropriate for consumers.
"The biggest problem consumers said they had with them was that they really didn't look appealing.
"The difference in our initial approach has been to focus on that problem and solve it."
He added that he welcomed the prospect of Apple entering the sector, potentially as soon as next week.
"I think Apple is going to help grow the category," he said.
"Perhaps the most difficult thing in any new technology category is having people understand the benefits of it.
"It's quite concerning to me that in the early days some of the first watches maybe gave the category a bad edge. We believe our product will be on the new wave of offerings."
Although Motorola was the first of the major tech firms to show off a circular smartwatch design, LG has since announced its own model, the G Watch R, with a similarly shaped face.
Motorola may be at a disadvantage because part of its model's screen remains dark to make room for other components, leading some critics to suggest it resembles a "flat tyre".
The South Korean firm avoided this by building a thicker bezel, placing the parts behind it and not including an ambient light sensor.
Mr Osterloh played down the issue noting that the Moto 360's screen was larger than those of its competitors.
But one expert suggested consumers might still prove hard to convince.
"I think sales will be relatively modest as everybody is essentially waiting for Apple to revolutionise this sector," said Neil Mawston from the tech consultancy Strategy Analytics.
"Frankly the Motorola brand is not quite as strong as it once was in consumer markets. Even if the product is very good, the bottom line is that the brand may not be strong enough to carry it off."
The company's other new wearable is the Moto Hint, a discreet Bluetooth earbud.
Offering three hours of talk time between charges, the idea is for owners to use the add-on to activate and control their handset from up to 150ft (46m) away as well as to make calls.
The firm suggests it could be used by pedestrians to get directions without having to repeatedly check their phone's display, and would be a convenient way to get quick answers to questions.
In addition, Motorola announced an updated version of its Moto X top-end phone, whose case can be customised at point of order. A leather back is among the new options.
Four infra-red sensors have also been added to its front to allow users to wake it up by waving their hand six to 12in (15cm-30cm) above it - something the firm suggested could be useful in meetings to surreptitiously check for notifications.
The firm also updates its lower cost Moto G, which now features an improved processor and display.
The original model is the bestselling handset in Motorola's history, and has played a large part in reviving its fortunes.
Research firm Canalys recently reported the phone's popularity in India had helped its maker overtake Nokia to become the country's fourth bestselling handset brand.
Motorola has also seen its UK market share rise from just 0.3% in July 2012 to 5.2% the same month this year, according to Kantar Worldpanel.
Mr Mawston said the takeover by China's Lenovo should boost its fortunes further.
"It will be able to expand Motorola's distribution and develop products more efficiently at lower prices," he said.
"That will give it a bigger leg up in the market."


Police in Germany investigating the deaths of two women say they were the victims of a couple who held them hostage and tortured them.

They say a man and his ex-wife placed dating advertisements to lure the women to their home.
The suspects - Wilfried W, 46, and Angelika B, 47 - were arrested last Wednesday and charged with manslaughter.
The man denies any wrongdoing but his partner is reported to have confessed.
Detectives believe there may be further victims and are searching the couple's home in Hoexter, north-western Germany.
Police have for weeks been investigating the death of a 41-year-old woman, known as Susanne F, who they believe was held hostage and tortured in the couple's residence.
That case came to light when the couple allegedly tried to drive the badly injured woman to her home in Lower Saxony in April.
But their car broke down and as they waited for a taxi, the woman's health deteriorated.
They called an ambulance, but the woman died later in hospital, where suspicions about her injuries arose and the police were warned.
At a news conference on Tuesday, police said they now believed the couple had killed and dismembered another young woman before disposing of her remains in their fireplace.
Annika W, 33, also from Lower Saxony, died in August 2014. Like Suzanne F, she had responded to a dating advertisement in late 2013.
"The victim suffered again and again from very serious physical torture like being hit all over the body, chained to heaters, being enslaved and beaten," chief prosecutor Ralf Meyer told a news conference.
"Sometimes the victim had to sleep on the bare floor of cold rooms. Hence, her physical condition became worse and worse."
He said that in summer 2014, the victim reached a life-threatening state, as a consequence of which she died on 1 August, 2014.
Police believe the motive for the murders was more likely to be power-related than sexual.
Angelika B is reported to have made a full confession, arguing that she only obeyed the man after also being tortured by him. Further investigations are said to support her statement.
The head of the investigation, Ralf Oestermann, said officers were conducting a detailed forensic examination of the house.
"We cannot totally exclude the possibly that another woman died there," he told reporters.
The full names of those involved in the case have not been released inline with German privacy laws.


A newspaper that has been published for more than 200 years has been saved, weeks after it announced it was closing.

The Sunday Independent, which provides in-depth coverage of sport in the south west, will be back on sale from the weekend.
A businessman in Cornwall has stepped in to take over the title.
Seventeen jobs have been saved at the paper's headquarters in Liskeard.

It has been bought by Peter Masters, who also co-owns Truro City Football Club.
He said: "Like so many of our family of readers, I've read the Indy every Sunday all my life.
"There was no way I could stand aside and let such a loved and respected part of the West Country sporting scene pass into history."
The paper's new managing director, writer and photojournalist Colin Bradbury said: "Our first and most important task will be to get the Indy that people love, complete with our existing team of writers and contributors, back in the shops this Sunday, April 23."
The price of the paper has been increased by 20p to Â£1.20.
Editor John Collings, who has worked for the paper since 1988, said: "We have been simply overwhelmed by the messages of love and affection for the paper and we thank everybody for their support.
"This great news gives us a solid platform to continue and make the Indy even better."


Derby County have completed the signing of Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom on a four-year contract.

An undisclosed initial fee believed to be around £3m had already been agreed for the 24-year-old, who played 38 games on loan with the Rams in the 2013-14 season.
The right-back or centre-back is the second defender to join this summer, following the arrival of Curtis Davies.
Wisdom has also had loan spells with West Bromwich Albion and Norwich City.
The former England Under-21 international was with Red Bull Salzburg last season, making a total of 22 appearances for the Austrian champions.

London's mayor has backed calls for Australians and New Zealanders to be given special status to live and work in the UK without restriction.

Boris Johnson leant his support to a new report criticising the "sorry state of affairs" with the Commonwealth.
It calls for bilateral mobility zones with Australia, New Zealand and Canada.
Mr Johnson backed such a move in 2013 after he said an Australian teacher was "effectively kicked out of Britain" because she was not an EU citizen.
The report by the Commonwealth Exchange group was released on Monday.
In it, the think-tank says the state of Commonwealth migration in the UK is in a "parlous state" and is affecting the UK "economically, socially, and culturally".
It says immigration from many Commonwealth nations has collapsed in the last decade, while immigration from the EU has more than doubled.
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the report quotes an unnamed Australian teacher who says the bureaucracy inflicted on other Commonwealth citizens by the UK is "absolutely ridiculous".
"Jumping through hoops, playing the waiting game and being in limbo is definitely something I wish not to have [again] any time soon," she said.
The report says the bilateral agreements should be modelled on the Trans-Tasman Travel Arrangement (TTTA) between Australia and New Zealand,
"The TTTA should be seen as a starting point for the UK to build a flexible, fair, reasonable and reciprocal regime," report author Tim Hewish was quoted as saying by the AAP news agency.
Mr Johnson was named "Honorary Australian of the Year in the UK" in January 2014.
Accepting the award, he said: "I think it's basically because I am mayor of the 12th biggest Australian city in the world and we're lucky to have a dynamic Australian population here in London."


League Two side Morecambe have signed Burnley defender Alex Whitmore on loan until January.

The 20-year-old centre-back has come through the youth system at the Clarets.
Whitmore spent time on loan in the National League last season at Chester and Gateshead.
"He's played at a good level last season and hopefully he can continue his progression," boss Jim Bentley told the club website.

A group of smiling tourists laugh and take pictures as they get off a coach in Tbilisi's medieval Old Town.

An elderly Georgian man waves at the group from an ornately carved wooden balcony. And a worker carrying a huge sack of concrete winks cheekily at the blonde women and shouts a greeting in Russian. They giggle.
It is not a reaction they had expected. That is because these tourists are from Russia, a country which fought a war with Georgia four years ago. And whose troops are still stationed in 20% of Georgian territory.
In 2008 Georgia and Russia went to war over the Georgian breakaway region of South Ossetia.
It was a war Russia won. Tens of thousands of Georgians who lived in South Ossetia were forced to flee their homes, leaving everything behind. And today, Russian troops guard checkpoints into South Ossetia to stop them trying to go back.
"I'm really very surprised that people here are so happy to see tourists from Russia," said Zulfiya Nikonova, who is here for the first time. "I was sure there wouldn't even be any Russian tourists, just four years after the war. There are a lot of memories."
But in the eyes of the Kremlin, Zulfiya is holidaying on enemy territory.
The two countries have no diplomatic relations. Russia is distrustful of the aspirations of this former Soviet Republic to join Nato - viewing Georgia as a traitor to their common history.
And Russian President Vladimir Putin refuses to deal with Georgia's President Mikheil Saakashvili, famously saying that, given the chance, he would hang Mr Saakashvili by his genitals. Except Mr Putin used blunter language.
Despite all this, the Georgian government has embarked on a conscious policy of attracting Russian tourists and businessmen to help boost the economy.
In February visa restrictions for Russians were scrapped. The next month the number of visitors from Russia tripled, says the Georgian government. And in the first four months of 2012, there were 55% more Russian visitors than the same period last year.
More Russians are on their way. In 2011 there were around 300,000 Russian visitors to Georgia, and the government predicts half a million for this year. Quite a leap from 2008, when there were just 100,000.
Tourism is being seen as the key to Georgia's economic development. The government wants to pull in 5 million visitors in total next year, compared to 3 million who came last year.
The Russian market is crucial to achieving this, says Beka Jakeli, from Georgia's government-run National Tourism Agency.
"Russia is the largest growing market. And they're next door. We can't miss out on that."
And Georgia's reputation as a sub-tropical holiday hotspot in the former Soviet Union is also waiting to be tapped into, he argues. "More than three million visitors from Russia used to come to Georgia every year in the Soviet years. So there is an awareness of Georgia as a tourist destination."
But today, with the political conflict still unresolved, it is not an easy market to crack: Georgian tour companies have to fight against negative images of Georgia in Russian state-controlled mainstream media, where Georgia is often portrayed as an unstable country, run by a lunatic president.
After Georgia scrapped visa restrictions for Russian visitors, Russia's foreign ministry even issued a safety warning against travelling to Georgia.
Before Yuri Krasnoselskikh came here on holiday, Russians back home frequently asked him if it was not dangerous to travel to Georgia.
"A lot of Russians think it's unsafe because of the tense relations between our countries," he said. "But in reality it's completely different. People here are very friendly, peace-loving and happy."
That's because, despite the war, many Georgians have a great fondness and respect for Russian culture, history and people. "We don't like Putin, but we love Russia," is something you often hear.
Historically many Georgians saw Russia as a civilising force, and the route to Europe - a fellow Christian country, which would offer support against the Muslim Persian and Ottoman empires to the South.
So the 2008 war, and the subsequent restrictions on travel and trade with Russia, have been a painful experience for many in Georgia.
The hope is that tourism can help heal those political rifts. The official diplomatic route may no longer be available. But Tbilisi is hoping that individual Russians will be so charmed by Georgia's wine, food, climate and genuinely impressive hospitality that they will act as unofficial ambassadors for Georgia when they go back home.
"There are a lot of lies spread about Georgia," explained Levan Kipiani, from the Georgian tour operator Calypso. "But when people come here, they see what's really going on. Word of mouth undermines the lies the Russian government tells."
On the last night of their trip to Georgia, Yuri, Zulfiya and the other Russians in their tour group sit together with their Georgian hosts, at a long table laden down with traditional Georgian food.
A toast to our beautiful women, declares the toastmaster. Everyone drinks. And then a few minutes later, he says: And now a toast to peace.
But do not mention the war. Underneath the mutual toasting and proclamations of friendship, politics remains taboo.
Moscow officially recognises the breakaway territories of South Ossetia and Abkhazia as independent states and supports them financially and militarily.
While for Tbilisi, and for most Georgian people themselves, these regions are an integral part of Georgia. And getting them back is a non-negotiable prerequisite for peace with Russia.
Hospitality is a major part of Georgia's culture and national identity - bringing up such issues to a foreign guest would seem an unforgivable breach of manners for many Georgians.
So for tonight, the politics are set aside, the toasts to international friendship carry on, and emotional songs are sung in the heartrending polyphonic style unique to Georgia - and all in Russian.


A male leopard spent five hours with its head stuck in a metal pot in a village in the northern Indian state of Rajasthan.

Local people told reporters that the animal appeared to have been foraging for water, and then got its head stuck inside the vessel.
The confused and frightened animal wandered around the village as residents took pictures and videos.
Wildlife officials eventually tranquilised the leopard and used a saw to remove the pot from its head. They told the local media that it seemed none the worse for its ordeal.
A recent wildlife census estimates that India has a leopard population of between 12,000 and 14,000 animals.


Cardinal George Pell has arrived at an Australian court, amid a large media scrum, to face charges of sexual assault.

The Vatican treasurer, 76, is accused of historical assaults involving "multiple complainants", Victorian police said last month.
He has said he will strenuously defend himself against the allegations.
Cardinal Pell made no comment as he entered Melbourne Magistrates' Court flanked by police officers.
Dozens of local and international media representatives have gathered outside the court, along with security guards and other onlookers.
The filing hearing, which is expected to be brief, will take place in a courtroom that can accommodate about 50 people, local media said.
Last month, Cardinal Pell said he was "looking forward" to his day in court.
Cardinal Pell had to slowly wade through a legion of camera crews and reporters to reach the entrance of the court.
He has vowed to vigorously defend himself against the allegations, and here he was at the start of what could be lengthy legal proceedings.
Rarely has an Australian court been besieged by such a large media contingent, with their satellite trucks and coverage taking the story all over the world.
Pedestrians were forced off the pavement on to the road outside, while one passing motorist paused briefly to shout abuse at reporters.
Supporters of Australia's most prominent Catholic figure had also gathered, queuing patiently to witness the hearing.
A middle-aged woman told me she was here with friends to "support George" as other curious onlookers captured the scene on their smartphones.
Cardinal Pell arrived in his home country earlier this month, after being granted a leave of absence from the Vatican to fight the charges.
Victoria Police said they had made the decision to charge the cleric after receiving advice from prosecutors earlier this year.
"Cardinal Pell is facing multiple charges and there are multiple complainants," Deputy Commissioner Shane Patton said last month.
Last month, Cardinal Pell told reporters: "I am innocent of these charges, they are false. The whole idea of sexual abuse is abhorrent to me."
He said in a press briefing at the Holy See that he had been the subject of a "relentless character assassination".
As Vatican treasurer, Cardinal Pell is considered to be the third-ranking official in the Catholic Church.


Wolves maintained the momentum from their FA Cup heroics at Liverpool with an eventful win at 10-man Barnsley.

Kortney Hause put the visitors ahead from close range after a flick-on by Dave Edwards, who then headed a second from Connor Ronan's free-kick.
Alex Mowatt was sent off on his debut for Barnsley, with Tykes manager Paul Heckingbottom then sent to the stands.
Edwards smashed in his second, before Marc Roberts scored a late consolation after Adam Hammill's shot was parried.
Barnsley created several chances to level after falling behind, with stand-in goalkeeper Harry Burgoyne making a fine reaction save to deny Mowatt when put clean through by Marley Watkins.
But it soon turned sour for Mowatt, who signed from Leeds United on Friday, when he was shown a straight red card moments before half-time for a sliding challenge on Jack Price.
Paul Lambert made six changes to the starting XI which won at Anfield, but his side could have had a third before half-time had referee Chris Kavanagh not overturned his own penalty decision when Adam Hammill and Bright Enobakhare tussled in the box.
Barnsley's defence, who have conceded more goals than any other team outside the bottom seven, struggled to cope with set-pieces, particularly from Ronan, who also hit the post.
Heckingbottom had to watch most of a ragged second-half from the Oakwell stands after a tussle in the Wolves dug-out.
The defeat, only Barnsley's second in eight league matches, dropped them a place to eighth, while Wolves moved up to 16th.
Barnsley manager Paul Heckingbottom: "It wasn't our night and I am disappointed that we conceded the first two goals like that - and it gave us a mountain to climb. Then came the sending off, so the game was all but over by then.
"The naivety has cost us. That's why we lost. It showed me that we weren't right tonight and we can't keep conceding goals like that."
"I have not seen it again, but on first look it did look like a red card - Alex [Mowatt] has been poor there and let us down. He apologised straight away at half-time. He was up for it, but he's just gone over the edge a little bit."
Wolves manager Paul Lambert: "I thought it was fantastic after coming off the highs of an emotional game on Saturday, possibly the highest emotionally that I can remember.
"The feelings of the players, supporters and staff and everyone was associated with Wolves has been draining after all that had happened at Liverpool, so I decided to change it around, but I thought the three young lads in the team were outstanding.
"This was always going to be a difficult place to come. It was never going to be pretty, it was always going to be direct and the Championship is like that, but I thought we were terrific."

An investigation has been launched into claims the details of millions of people's pensions are being sold to fraudsters and cold-calling firms.

Firms are selling data about people's salaries, investment values and pension size for as little as 5p without their knowledge, the Daily Mail said.
It is feared it will be used to scam pensioners who can access their full pension pots under new rules in April.
Information Commissioner Christopher Graham said he was investigating.
He told the BBC that the claims were "very serious" and said he was in touch with the Pensions Regulator, the Financial Conduct Authority and the police.
"There are lots of people out there who are trying to take advantage of leads that they get to sell you stuff," he said.
However, at least one of the firms accused of selling data has denied doing anything illegal.
The Daily Mail said its undercover reporters were able to buy pension details by claiming they were from a cold-calling company.
However, one of the companies that offered information to the reporters - B2C Data - denied selling "highly sensitive details of salaries, investments and pensions".
It said its data business was "entirely legitimate and legally compliant".
"Importantly, it does not receive or process information other than in respect of those customers of its members who have opted in," said a B2C spokesperson.
Previously B2C told the paper that it gathered some details from mortgage application forms.
Mortgage applicants have to give details of their savings, and may not always tick a box to stop their data being passed on.
Another suggestion being made is that people give away information unwittingly when filling in forms for savings products such as Individual Savings Accounts (Isas).
About 300,000 people are expected to be able to take immediate advantage of changes in pension rules on 6 April, and the industry has repeatedly warned about the dangers of scams.
The Association of British Insurers, which represents many of the big pension companies, is among those who have already called for a tightening of the rules.
But the real question is: How are these data firms obtaining personal details of salaries and pensions in the first place? Pension companies themselves naturally deny selling information.
However, it is not necessarily illegal to sell data lists, when people have given away information freely.
Steve Webb - pensions minister in the coalition government - has already admitted there will be a lot of crooks wanting to take advantage of the pension reforms, and has advised people to take professional advice.
A second company - Targeted Response Direct (TRD) - denied the Mail's accusations of selling unregulated high-risk investments to pensioners.
"For the record, we don't sell pension details," said David Billington of TRD.
"We do not target pensioners for any investment product or service," he said.
The Association of British Insurers (ABI) advised people to be on their guard against unsolicited approaches from financial companies.
The ICO has the power to issue fines of up to Â£500,000 for the most serious breaches and can pursue criminal prosecutions around unlawfully obtaining or accessing personal data.


A teenager who was found dead near a park entrance on Christmas Day may have died elsewhere, police have said.

The body of Han Lam, also known as Hoang Trung, 17, of Vietnamese origin, was found at about 21:00 GMT near Heanor Memorial Park in Derbyshire.
Derbyshire Police said he had connections to Birmingham, but have so far not uncovered links with Heanor.
Det Sgt Adam Gascoigne said he wants to trace a dark grey Toyota Avensis which was seen in the area.
A post-mortem examination has not revealed the cause of death and further tests are due to be carried out.

Det Sgt Gascoigne said: "We know that the car was in the Heanor area between 11:00 GMT and midday on Christmas Day and I'm asking anyone who has CCTV or dashboard cameras to check their footage for that time.
"Mr Lam's death remains unexplained and we believe he may have died in a different place to where he was found."
Anyone who can help the investigation has been asked to contact the force.


A former gang leader has warned people not to put the Birmingham riots solely down to gang culture in the city.

Gavin McKenna was one of about 1,000 people at a BBC Radio 4 debate at Birmingham Town Hall on Monday night to discuss the causes of the riots.
He said it would be simple to blame gangs but university students and athletes were also among those looting.
Hundreds of officers tackled two nights of disorder in the West Midlands in August during which three men died.
Former gang leader Gavin McKenna said: "I don't agree with everything that happened and I don't say it's right.
"I don't condone it but it's not just gangs you know, it's the easy thing to say it is. It's easy to label everyone as a gang member or as a gang or a thug.
"There was university students there, there was positive athletes stealing and robbing stuff too."
West Midlands Police Chief Constable Chris Sims said riot police had been issued with plastic bullets to deal with looters.
He said it was standard practice to use plastic bullets when officers were at risk of being targeted.
The force has been criticised by some community leaders for dealing too slowly with riots on the evenings of the 8 and 9.
Mr Sims said no shots were fired at looters by police.
Speaking after the debate, he said: "As part of the reflections that we all need to have, as these events sort of settle in our minds, is to understand that policing needs to be left to police and that the consequences of being on the street can be dangerous to the wider community."
During the disorder the force closed off the main routes into Birmingham city centre at night and urged people to keep off the streets and stay at home.
Five people have been charged with murder in connection with the deaths of three men who were hit by a car during rioting in Birmingham in early hours of 10 August.
Haroon Jahan, 21, and brothers Shazad Ali, 30, and Abdul Musavir, 31, died while protecting property from looters in Dudley Road, Winson Green.


Sainsbury's chief executive has called for "fundamental reforms" to business rates amid concerns hikes could spark a raft of High Street store closures.

Mike Coupe said the set-up pegged to property valuations was "archaic" and ignored the rise of online shops based in out-of-town warehouses.
His comments came after business groups urged ministers to lessen the impact of April's revaluation in England.
The government says the majority of firms will pay the same or less.
Properties concentrated in the South East of England and urban centres are said to be disproportionately impacted by the first revaluation since 2010, with retailers in some areas facing rises of up to 400%.
There is a similar debate taking place in Scotland and Wales where rates are also being reassessed after April.
Reality Check: Are there more winners than losers on business rates?
Mr Coupe, the boss of the UK's second-largest supermarket chain, urged the government to undertake a wide-ranging review of the way businesses are taxed, highlighting changes in retailing culture.
Mr Coupe said: "The way it currently stands, there is an advantage for those without bricks and mortar operations, so there's a strong case for a level playing field in business rates and taxation more generally.
"Businesses like ours with lots of property and employees face a bigger burden than others."
Referring to the revaluation plans, he said: "As it stands, we could see High Streets face serious challenges and ultimately more closures. It could impact investment in places that most need it, in areas of the country where there is already a marginal call on investment."
Rates are calculated by multiplying the rateable value of a property by a multiplier set by the government. But as property values change over time, rateable values need to be reassessed periodically - usually every five years.
However, this update to property values is two years behind schedule, making it a harder pill to swallow in areas where the price of real estate has been rising.
According to analysts, Sainsbury's will see its annual rates rise to £500m, up from £483m, while internet giant Amazon will see its bill cut.
Pubs, NHS hospitals and hotels in some areas are also said to be facing increases in their business rates.
On Friday, business groups - including the British Retail Consortium and the CBI - signed a letter urging the government to drop the revaluation plans.
Pubs and restaurants have also called on the chancellor to dilute the impact of the changes by providing more transitional relief for the sector.
Meanwhile, the Sunday Telegraph has reported that ministers considered extra financial support to ease the impact of business rates before the general election in 2015.
According to the paper, the Department for Communities and Local Government worked with the Treasury to protect the sector, but eventually decided to adopt more modest reforms.
A government spokesman said: "Nearly three quarters of businesses will see a fall, or no change, in their business rates as a result of the revaluation.
"The generous reliefs we are introducing mean that 600,000 small businesses are paying no rates at all - something we're making permanent so they never pay these bills again.
"Across the country, there's also a £3.6bn scheme to support companies affected by the business rates revaluation."


Goalkeeper and captain Vincent Enyeama became only the second Nigerian to win 100 caps but his celebrations were spoilt as Uganda won 1-0 in Uyo.

The southern city is where Enyeama hails from but his night was soured when Farouk Miya's close-range shot deflected in nine minutes from time.
Enyeama, who was presented with a trophy before the match, joins Joseph Yobo on 100 caps for Nigeria.
He can beat that record when the Super Eagles play South Africa on Sunday.
The 32-year-old Lille player is the fourth African goalkeeper to become a centurion after three Egyptians - Essam El-Hadary,  Nader El-Sayed and Ahmed Shobair - previously achieved the feat.
After the match, Nigeria Football Federation president Amaju Pinnick was highly critical of the Super Eagles squad, which was led by caretaker coach Daniel Amokachi.
"We are supposed to be celebrating with Enyeama on his 100th cap, but your poor performance has ruined the party and Nigerians are very angry," he told the players after the game.
"When next you receive an invitation letter to come represent Nigeria, you have a critical decision to make: accept it only if you believe you are in the frame of mind to give your everything or decline if you do not feel that way.
"The camp of the national team will no longer welcome average players or good players with poor attitude."
Elsewhere, Gabon beat Mali 4-3 in a thrilling friendly, with Bruno Ecuele Manga scoring a 90th-minute winner in the French city Beauvais.
Borussia Dortmund's Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang scored twice for Gabon, while Bakary Sako was among Mali's scorers.
Frenchman Alain Giresse was back in charge of Mali - who he guided to third place at the 2013 Nations Cup - for the first time since leading Senegal at this year's finals in Equatorial Guinea.
Meanwhile, South Africa won 3-1 in Swaziland.
Thulani Hlatshwayo celebrated captaining Bafana Bafana for the first time by opening the scoring, with debutant Thabo Mnyamane and Mandla Masango also finding the net for the visitors.
The match marked the return to the starting line-up of controversial South Africa midfielder Thulani Serero from Dutch club Ajax.
He was left out of this year's Nations Cup by coach Ephraim 'Shakes' Mashaba after snubbing a pre-squad announcement training camp.
The first game of the day on Wednesday came in Indonesia where Cameroon, who finished bottom of their Nations Cup group without a win, bounced back with a 1-0 victory.
Porto striker Vincent Aboubakar slotted home after 35 minutes to earn the Indomitable Lions a win in a fixture that 1990 World Cup legend Roger Milla had called 'humiliating' given Indonesia's Fifa ranking of 156.
Burundi equalised twice to draw 2-2 in Mauritius and prevent French coach  Didier Six celebrating his debut in charge of the Indian Ocean islanders with a  victory.
A 2-0 home win for Botswana over fellow southern Africa nation Lesotho  completed a six-friendly schedule designed to prepare teams for the June kick-off of the 2017 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers.


New Zealand recorded their first Test victory in Australia for 26 years with a thrilling seven-run win in Hobart, to draw the two-match series 1-1.

It was only their third Test victory in 28 matches on Australian soil.
The Australians resumed on day four needing only 169 more runs with all 10 wickets intact, but lost Phil Hughes in the second over of the morning.
Seamer Doug Bracewell took 6-40 as Aussie opener David Warner carried his bat for a maiden Test century.
Left-hander Warner, previously thought to be a Twenty20 specialist, was playing in only his second Test, and after adding 72 with Hughes he put on another 50 with Usman Khawaja (23) to leave Australia in relative command at 122-1.
But Bracewell, the nephew of former New Zealand spinner and coach John Bracewell and himself playing in only his third Test, turned the game.
This was New Zealand's 70th Test victory, in their 367th match. The Kiwis have lost 148 and drawn 149
He had Ricky Ponting caught at extra cover, and in his next over, with the score still on 159, dismissed Australia captain Michael Clarke and obdurate middle-order batsman Mike Hussey with successive deliveries.
Clarke was caught at first slip while Hussey departed via video referral, after umpire Asad Rauf had originally rejected the appeal for lbw.
Tim Southee and Bracewell took two wickets each in two overs to leave the Australians on the brink of defeat at 199-9.
Man of the match Warner and last man Nathan Lyon added 34 inside eight overs but Bracewell nipped one back off the seam to breach Lyon's defences and signal the start of the celebrations for the Kiwis.
"We believed in ourselves that we could win this match, we knew we had to fight, we knew we had to play a lot better than we did in Brisbane," New Zealand skipper Ross Taylor said, referring to the team's nine-wicket defeat in the first match of the series.
Counterpart Michael Clarke was critical of his batsmen and said: "Obviously disappointed, no doubt.
"The way we played in Brisbane was outstanding and I thought we were pretty inconsistent throughout this Test match.
"I want to pay credit to David Warner for his first Test century and also to Nathan Lyon for the way he hung in there.
"I think if a few of us batters had shown the character and courage he showed, we wouldn't be standing here with the same result."

Mae un o ACau Plaid Cymru wedi dweud y dylai Gweinidog yr Economi ac Isadeiledd, Ken Skates golli cyfrifoldeb dros y portffolio trafnidiaeth.

Dywedodd Adam Price fod y "llanast" o gwmpas cytundeb newydd gwasanaeth reilffordd Cymru, yn ogystal â Chylchffordd Cymru, yn dangos nad oedd Mr Skates yn gallu ymdopi â'i "frîff eang".
Ychwanegodd Mr Price fod angen creu swydd ysgrifennydd cabinet newydd ar gyfer trafnidiaeth.
Ond mae llefarydd ar ran y gweinidog wedi cyhuddo Plaid Cymru o chwarae "gemau gwleidyddol" gyda sefyllfa'r rheilffordd er mwyn eu "dibenion cul eu hunain".
Mae ffrae wedi codi rhwng llywodraethau Bae Caerdydd a San Steffan dros ddyfodol y rhwydwaith drenau yng Nghymru, gyda gweinidogion y DU yn bygwth oedi i'r broses geisiadau ar gyfer masnachfraint Cymru a'r Gororau.
Ym mis Mehefin fe wnaeth Llywodraeth Cymru hefyd benderfynu peidio â chynnig gwarant o £210m ar gyfer trac rasio arfaethedig yng Nglyn Ebwy, chwe blynedd wedi i'r cynlluniau gael eu cyhoeddi gyntaf.
Dywedodd Mr Price, llefarydd Plaid Cymru ar yr economi: "O Gylchffordd Cymru i beth sy'n edrych fel tro trwstan biliwn o bunnoedd wrth gaffael masnachfraint reilffordd nesaf Cymru, mae'n amlwg nad yw adran Ken Skates yn gallu ymdopi a'u brîff eang mwyach."
Ychwanegodd y dylai'r adran orfod hepgor eu cyfrifoldeb dros drafnidiaeth "er lles cyllid Cymru a'r gwasanaethau trên mae pobl yn dibynnu arnynt bob dydd".
Does gan y prif weinidog, Carwyn Jones "ddim dewis", medd Mr Price, ond "creu ysgrifennydd trafnidiaeth newydd ar lefel cabinet er mwyn glanhau'r llanast y mae wedi'i greu".
Ond mae llefarydd ar ran Mr Skates wedi beirniadu ymateb Plaid Cymru i'r ffrae reilffyrdd.
"Mae'n siomedig fod Plaid Cymru'n hapus i ddefnyddio sefyllfa bwysig fel hon i chwarae gemau gwleidyddol a manteisio ar sefyllfa er mwyn eu dibenion cul eu hunain," meddai.
"Fe fyddwn ni'n canolbwyntio'n hymdrechion ar sefyll cornel Cymru a brwydro dros y buddsoddiad mae ein teithwyr yn ei haeddu."


Officials in Kabul say police killed four Taliban suicide bombers during an attack on a compound housing foreign workers in the Afghan capital.

Local residents said they heard gunfire and several explosions but police said there were no civilian casualties.
The attack on the large compound, known as the Green Village, is the second this week targeting foreign workers.
On Monday, two Afghan security guards were killed in a Taliban attack on another Western compound.
"Four suicide bombers have been killed, there was no harm to civilians," Deputy Interior Minister Mohammad Ayub Salangi told reporters.
A Taliban spokesman said the group was behind the attack.
The attackers tried to break into the Green Village by detonating a car packed with explosives at the entrance to the compound, which houses foreign contractors and security staff.
"Since the Green Village had been targeted several times in the past, the place was heavily guarded and the attackers failed to reach their intended target," Interior Ministry spokesman Sediq Sediqqi said.
The compound was last targeted in October 2013 when a suicide bomber killed two passers-by. Another attack in 2012 killed seven guards and civilians.
Attacks on foreign workers, government officials and security forces have intensified in recent weeks as Western troops end their operations.
Last week, a suicide bomber targeted a prominent female Afghan politician, killing three civilians and wounding others in an attack on a Kabul convoy.
A week earlier, another suicide attacker entered the offices of Kabul's police chief and killed a senior officer.


New Zealand captain Brendon McCullum is to retire from international cricket.

The 34-year-old batsman has confirmed that the two-Test series against Australia in February will be his last.
McCullum is second on the Kiwi's all-time Test run scorers, with 6,273 runs from 99 matches, including 11 hundreds.
"I've loved my opportunity to play for, and captain the Black Caps. But all good things have to come to an end, and I'm just grateful for the wonderful experience," he said.
Kane Williamson will captain New Zealand at the World Twenty20 in India, which starts on 8 March.
McCullum, who made his Test debut in 2004 against South Africa and became captain in all formats in 2013, will become the first man to play 100 successive Tests from debut when he leads the Black Caps in the first Test against Australia in Wellington on 12 February.
The former wicketkeeper has been crucial to the Black Caps' run of seven Tests unbeaten until a recent defeat in Australia, becoming the first New Zealander to score a triple century when he reached 302 against India in February 2014.
He also led the Kiwis to their first Cricket World Cup final earlier this year, where they also lost to Australia.
The right-hander scored 5,909 runs in 254 one-day internationals with five hundreds and 31 fifties, and is the only player with two international hundreds in Twenty20 cricket.


St Helens' appeal against Ben Barba's 12-match suspension relating to an NRL drugs ban has been deferred for no "good or valid reason", according to club chairman Eamonn McManus.

The independent judge in the case adjourned for a week to review material provided by the Rugby Football League.
The hearing is set for Wednesday, 28 June and comes five weeks after Barba signed for the Super League club.
"The procedural process is proving to be inordinately long," said McManus.
"We were already bemused by the protracted period prior to being granted a tribunal hearing date.
"That has now been deferred further at the unilateral request of the RFL and without, in our opinion, good or valid reason."
Barba, who tested positive for cocaine just days after helping Cronulla win the NRL Grand Final last year, was a controversial signing on 24 May on a deal until 2019, after a short stint playing rugby union in France.
His cross-code move to France proved a contentious one for the 27-year-old - who was the NRL's player of the year in 2012 - as he escaped being sanctioned because the ban only applied to rugby league.
On Barba's return to rugby league with Saints, the RFL - who govern the Super League - sought clarity from the NRL about whether the ban was applicable outside the southern hemisphere competition.
The issue which the RFL has faced from the very beginning is not just about upholding an NRL-imposed suspension, but establishing that there is collaboration between the two competitions and that bans served in rugby league are recognised internationally.
In a statement on St Helens' website, McManus said: "We merely legitimately seek to appeal the discretionary decision of the RFL to adopt his 12-match suspension from the NRL.
"We consider that we have an extremely strong case."
If the ban was to stand, Barba will have served six matches by the time the appeal is heard and he will not be eligible to play until the fourth match of the Super 8s, which is likely to be in August.
The RFL originally requested the hearing be put back to allow Saints and the judge - who will head a three-member panel - time to review papers, which relate to cross-competition bans and drug suspension policies.
However, St Helens wanted a speedy conclusion and the RFL were willing to have the case heard as originally planned this week, only for the judge to then deny that request to allow more time to review material from both sides before hearing the case.


A violent feud between two rival Dublin gangs which has, so far, claimed the lives of five men may now have led to the murder of a sixth man from Northern Ireland.

Michael Barr, who was originally from County Tyrone, was shot dead at the pub where he worked in Dublin's north inner city on Monday night.
Police are investigating a possible link to the Kinahan - Hutch feud.  BBC News looks back at the criminal dispute which has caused fear in Dublin and further afield.
Gary Hutch, a convicted armed robber from Dublin, dies after being shot a number of times by a masked gunman at an apartment block in Spain's Costa del Sol.
The 34-year had moved to Spain after his release from prison and was living in the country for eight years at the time of his death.
He had survived a number of previous attempts on his life.
He was a nephew of Gerry Hutch - a notorious criminal in Dublin in the late 1980s and 1990s, who was nicknamed the Monk.
There is chaos and panic as gunmen armed with AK47 assault rifles open fire inside a Dublin hotel as it hosts a weigh-in for a World Boxing Organization (WBO) title fight.
The armed gang, disguised as police officers, injure three men, one of them fatally.
The murder victim is named as 33-year-old David Byrne from Crumlin in the south of the city.
He was well-known to police and had been questioned several times over serious and organised crime.
Police sources express fear of the possibility of a reprisal attack.
A man claiming to speak on behalf of the dissident republican group, the Continuity IRA (CIRA), claims its members were responsible for the hotel gun attack.
He tells the BBC that CIRA members killed David Byrne because he had been involved in the killing of Real IRA leader Alan Ryan in Dublin in 2012.
However, police say they believe the motive for the hotel shooting was a criminal dispute, not a paramilitary feud.
Hours later, Eddie Hutch Snr is shot dead near his flat in Poplar Row, in the north inner city, in a suspected reprisal attack for the murder of David Byrne.
The victim, a taxi driver, is an uncle of Gary Hutch and a brother of Gerry 'The Monk' Hutch.
At his funeral, mourners heard a plea from the Hutch family for no retaliation.
Locals believe Eddie Hutch Sr was only murdered because of his surname - that he was an innocent man whose early life in crime was well behind him.
BBC Northern Ireland's Spotlight programme broadcasts its investigation into the Kinahan gang's international drugs trafficking operation.
It charts Christy Kinahan's rise from a minor Dublin criminal to the "kingpin behind one of Europe's biggest drug cartels".
Using Spanish police files, the programme reveals the astonishing wealth and global scope of the Kinahan gang's operation.
At one point, gang members are revealed to be discussing the possibility of investing in their own container ship to transport drugs.
Noel Duggan, a well-known criminal linked to cigarette smuggling, is shot dead while sitting in a car outside his home in Ratoath, County Meath.
The 57-year-old victim had links to the Hutch family was a friend of Gerry Hutch.
A 24-year-old man dies after he is shot outside Noctor's pub in the Sheriff Street/Oriel Street area of Dublin's north inner city.
The victim is later identified as Martin O'Rourke, a father of three.
It is understood the murder was a case of mistaken identity and that detectives believe the intended target was an associate of Gary Hutch.
Mr O'Rourke tried to run but was shot several times by a gunman dressed in dark clothes, who then cycled away. The bike was later found abandoned, and the gun found in a bin.

A 27-year-old man from Londonderry has been charged with with making and throwing petrol bombs.

He is also charged with arson, endangering life; criminal damage and disorderly behaviour.
The charges are in connection to an incident on Monday night when petrol bombs were allegedly thrown at a Land Rover leaving Strand Road police station.
He will appear at Londonderry Magistrates Court later today.


What constitutes lobbying in Parliament and what are the rules governing it?

Three peers and an MP have been accused of being prepared to break the rules on lobbying in Parliament.
MP Patrick Mercer resigned the Conservative whip after claims by BBC's Panorama that he broke Parliament's lobbying rules by accepting Â£4,000 to lobby for business interests in Fiji.
Mr Mercer, who was approached by a fake company set up by the programme, denies wrongdoing, saying he took the money for consultancy work outside Parliament and has referred himself to the Parliamentary standards commissioner.
Separately, two Labour peers have been suspended and one Ulster Unionist member of the House of Lords has resigned the whip after allegedly agreeing to do parliamentary work for payment in contravention of the rules. Lord Cunningham, Lord Mackenzie of Framwellgate and Lord Laird all deny any wrongdoing.
Lobbying in order to influence political decisions is widely regarded as a legitimate part of the democratic process. Lobbyists are firms or individuals that are paid to influence such decisions.
They are often former politicians or ex-civil servants who have developed personal contacts with those in power.
Alternatively, individuals. firms, charities and other groups can lobby on their own, without paying professional lobbyists.
There has long been concern that, if unregulated, lobbyists will begin to wield an unhealthy level of influence over political decision-making. This, it is argued, could mean the corruption of peers and MPs and undermine democracy.
Before the 2010 election, future Prime Minister David Cameron said lobbying was "the next big scandal waiting to happen".
The coalition agreement, which set out the government's programme in 2010, said: "We will regulate lobbying through introducing a statutory register of lobbyists and ensuring greater transparency."
However, the policy has not yet made it into the government's legislative programme. There was no mention of it in the last Queen's Speech, but ministers say they are consulting on plans.
Cabinet Minister Francis Maude has hinted that a new law could be introduced within the next year.
All MPs, including ministers, are subject to a code of conduct when it comes to their outside interests and dealings.
They have to register their financial interests, including remunerated employment outside Parliament.
They are allowed to work as a consultant or be paid for advice.
However, they are forbidden from acting as a "paid advocate" - taking payment for speaking in the House; asking a parliamentary question, tabling a motion, introducing a bill or tabling or moving an amendment to a motion or bill or urging colleagues or ministers to do so.
They can:
They must:
In addition, ministers must comply with guidelines when they leave office:
The House of Lords Code of Conduct, which says peers must show "selflessness", "openness" and "accountability", states they have to:
It also advises that peers "should be especially cautious in deciding whether to speak or vote in relation to interests that are direct, pecuniary and shared by few others".
Peers, unlike MPs, are paid expenses rather than a salary, and are allowed to give general advice and act as consultants if this does not influence their behaviour.
It is the job of the Parliamentary Commissioner for Standards to look into complaints against MPs. The commissioner reports to the Committee on Standards, which then decides on a course of action to take against an MP, including recommending suspension from the Commons, if this is necessary.
MPs vote on whether to implement the recommendations.
For peers, the House of Lords Commissioner for Standards looks at allegations. The report goes to the Sub-Committee on Lords' Conduct, which reviews the findings and can recommend a punishment to the Committee for Privileges and Conduct. Peers have a right of appeal against this.
The final decision on punishment is made by the House of Lords as a whole.


An inquiry has concluded that unrepresentative samples were the reason the polls were wrong ahead of the May 2015 UK general election.

19 January 2016 Last updated at 12:36 GMT
The conclusion chimes with the work of analyst Matt Singh, of Number Cruncher Politics, who was one of the few who called it right before the vote.
He made this report for BBC Newsnight.


Rail passengers were left angry after being told trains were delayed due to "strong sunlight".

Services were disrupted because of the angle of the sun in Lewisham, south-east London, train operator Southeastern said.
It apologised and tweeted: "We had severe congestion through Lewisham due to dispatching issues as a result of strong sunlight."
Passengers also took to Twitter - to share their disbelief at the excuse.
Paul Malyon described it as "the weakest excuse ever".
Rob List wrote: "I can't have heard properly because if I did, I believe my train's been delayed due to SUNLIGHT?!?"
Zuzanna Sojka tweeted: "Canon Street train delayed due to sunlight! @Se_Railway i admire your creativity!"

A spokesman at Southeastern said:  "We know that sometimes it seems that if it is not leaves on the line or snow on the track then it is some other weather issue.
"But actually glare this morning made it impossible for some drivers to see the full length of their train in their mirrors before leaving stations.
"When this happens they have to get out and check to ensure everybody has got on or off their train safely before they can move.
"This can take a little more time but thankfully for all it doesn't happen very often."
There have been additional problems following a landslip at Barnehurst on Monday evening.
All services between Lewisham and Dartford via Bexleyheath were cancelled for the rest of the day as a result.
There were also difficulties on the Southern network when a sinkhole caused trains between Redhill in Surrey and Tonbridge in Kent to be suspended.


A man who police had been called to help after he was seen wandering among traffic has died in hospital.

Dorset Police said officers had restrained the man, who was reported acting erratically in Poole on Tuesday.
The man suffered a medical episode while with the officers, who performed CPR while waiting for an ambulance.
He was taken to Poole Hospital but his condition deteriorated and he died on Wednesday morning, police said. His next of kin have been told.
Police have referred the death to the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC).
A statement from the force said officers were called at 16:12 and 16:19 BST amid concern for the man's welfare.
The statement said: "When officers arrived, a man matching the description was found on The Avenue. He was restrained while officers assessed the situation.
"While with officers he suffered a medical emergency. The ambulance service was requested to attend and officers performed CPR while awaiting their arrival.
"The man was taken to Poole Hospital for further treatment. Sadly, his condition deteriorated and he died in hospital this morning."


A Montana congressman who "body slammed" a journalist is intending to plead guilty to assault next week, the state's attorney has said.

Greg Gianforte is accused of attacking a reporter from the UK's Guardian newspaper a day before his election.
He has donated $50,000 (Â£38,000) to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) as part of an apology.
Mr Gianforte will plead guilty on Monday to a criminal charge of misdemeanour assault, AP reports.
It carries a maximum penalty is a $500 fine and a six-month jail term.
Gallatin county attorney Marty Lambert told AP the congressman had requested the court hearing after reaching a civil settlement this week.
Alicia Acuna, a reporter from Fox News who witnessed the attack, said Mr Gianforte grabbed reporter Ben Jacobs by the neck with both hands and slammed him into the ground", before he began "punching" Mr Jacobs.
The politician had initially claimed Mr Jacobs had grabbed his wrist, pulling them both to the ground. His spokesperson called it "aggressive behaviour from a liberal journalist".
But in his formal apology to Mr Jacobs on Wednesday, he said: "Notwithstanding anyone's statements to the contrary, you did not initiate any physical contact with me, and I had no right to assault you. I am sorry for what I did and the unwanted notoriety this has created for you.
"I take full responsibility," he added.


Christian Benteke "will not dictate" his future at Crystal Palace, according to manager Sam Allardyce, after reports the striker is disillusioned at the club.

The 26-year-old has scored 14 goals for the club since signing for £27m from Liverpool last summer, but only one in the league during the past 11 games.
"He has a five-year deal so we'll tell him what he'll do," said Allardyce.
"It's the usual speculation to try and stir the pot, I suppose."
The former England manager added: "He's our player and he'll not dictate what he wants to do or doesn't want to do, as far as I'm concerned. He accepted that contract in good faith.
"If both parties agree then that's a different matter but for me, rumours like that at this stage of the season: I wouldn't have thought he had said that."
Struggling Crystal Palace are 18th in the Premier League, with 22 points from 26 games. They visit eighth-placed West Brom on Saturday (15:00 GMT).


Legislation to stop people from smoking in cars carrying children will not be introduced during this assembly term, the Welsh government has decided.

But Health Minister Lesley Griffiths confirmed a campaign will run about the effects of second-hand smoke in cars.
An action plan to reduce the harm caused by smoking also includes moves to ban smoking on NHS premises and in children's playgrounds.
David Bowden, from The Institute of Ideas, said any ban would not be right.
Ms Griffiths rejected calls from Plaid Cymru to bring in rules sooner to make smoking in cars carrying children illegal.
But the minister said the Welsh government will launch a three-year education campaign about the effects of second-hand smoke in cars.
Ms Griffiths said the government will "consider bringing forward legislation," if evidence shows the campaign fails to achieve a significant reduction in exposure to second-hand smoke.
David Bowden, from the civil liberties think-tank The Institute of Ideas, said most people were aware of the dangers of smoking.
But he said it was not right for governments to decide to ban smoking in playgrounds and in cars.
"We either give individuals the choice to make their own moral responsibility to have bad habits which the government may not approve of, or we don't at all," he told BBC Radio Wales.
Professor Laurence Moore, a director at Decipher, a public health research centre of excellence at Cardiff University, said: "If the government can take firm action it can really help to encourage people not to take up smoking."


Everton defender Matthew Pennington has joined Leeds on a season-long loan.

The cost of using a mobile phone in another European Union country will fall again on Monday.

New EU limits come into force which will reduce the amount mobile phone providers can charge for making or receiving calls abroad.
It will also bring down the cost of accessing the internet.
For the past six years the EU has been forcing prices down by placing a cap on the charges providers can impose and reducing that limit each year.
The cost of making mobile phone calls outside a person's own country, known as roaming, has traditionally been very high.
The latest cuts come into force on Monday, when the maximum cost of making a call will fall by a fifth to 24 euro cents a minute or just over 20p, plus the VAT rate applicable in the relevant EU country.
But the biggest change is to data charges - the cost of using the internet or applications linked to it.
That will fall by roughly a third to 45 euro cents per megabyte or about 38.5p, plus VAT.
However, these reductions will only apply within the borders of the European Union.
In other countries charges both for making calls and for using the internet are likely to remain higher.
Because Croatia joins EU on Monday, the same day as the price caps are introduced, the difference is most stark there.
Last year, the European Parliament passed regulations to make using a mobile phone abroad significantly cheaper.
The EU said the regulations were designed to prevent "bill shock".
This is the moment when travellers discover they have have run up huge bills after making calls and using data applications, such as maps, while away.


A coroner has described the drowning of five people from Londonderry as a terrible tragedy.

Dr Denis McCauley was speaking at a public hearing in advance of an inquest into the tragedy at a pier in County Donegal on 20 March 2016.
Five family members on a day trip died when their car slipped off Buncrana Pier into Lough Swilly.
Dr McCauley said it was one of the worst family tragedies along the Irish coastline in living memory.
Sean McGrotty, who was 49, died with his two sons Mark, 12, and Evan, eight.
Ruth Daniels, who was 57, died alongside her daughter Jodie Lee, who was 14.
A baby was saved - handed from the sinking car to a man who ran into the water to help.
The Coroner said the inquest, which will be held in November, will try to find out what happened on the night as well as what lessons can be learned from the tragedy.
A number of McGrotty family members were present at the hearing.


Following a number of deaths and serious accidents on a main route through Swansea, a new one-way system will be introduced in the autumn.

The Â£200,000 work on Kingsway will include new signs, re-marking and remodelling of the road.
Safety barriers were installed after the death of Sgt Louise Lucas in March, to stop pedestrians crossing.
Another man was hit by a bus on 4 August, while Daniel Foss, 37, died in 2013.
Swansea council is also considering introducing a dedicated cycle track as part of the changes.
It said the work to prevent public transport travelling in both directions is a pre-cursor to more detailed plans to redevelop the route as a business district.


The Duke of Cambridge has said it was "very difficult" not to have his late mother at his wedding.

Interviewed by US TV network ABC, Prince William agreed he had "missed" Princess Diana at Westminster Abbey.
"It's the one time since she's died, where I'veâ€¦ thought to myself it would be fantastic if she was here," he said.
Meanwhile, Buckingham Palace has announced the prince has been made a Royal Knight of the Order of the Thistle, Scotland's highest honour.
William and his brother Prince Harry were both interviewed by ABC's Katie Couric for a documentary to coincide with the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
William was 15 and Harry 12 when their mother died in a car crash in Paris in August 1997.
Asked about his April 2011 wedding, Prince William said he thought it was "just how sad really for her, more than anything, not being able to see it... I think she would have loved the day".
He added: "I sort of prepared myself beforehand so that... I was sort of mentally prepared so I didn't want any wobbly lips or anything going on," he said.
He said he hoped Diana would have been "very proud" of both Harry and himself on the day he married Kate Middleton.
He added: "I'm just very sad that she's never going to get a chance to meet Kate."
Interviewed separately for the Jubilee Queen documentary, Prince Harry agreed it was "hard" that Diana was not at the wedding.
"I think she had the best seat in the house probably," he said. "She would have loved to be there."
On the subject of the Queen, Harry said his grandmother was someone who is "really very very normal, very relaxed.
"She obviously takes a huge interest in what we all do... she wants to know which charities we are supporting, how life is going in our jobs as such."
A St James's Palace spokesman said the Duke of Cambridge, who has the Scottish title the Earl of Strathearn and is already a Knight of the Garter, was "very honoured" to be made a Royal Knight of the Thistle.
The accolade is second only in precedence in the UK to the Order of the Garter and is given after a personal decision by the Queen.
The spokesman added: "It's his 30th birthday this year and also the Diamond Jubilee and the Queen felt it was an appropriate time to bestow the honour."
William will be formally installed as a Royal Knight of the Thistle in July during the Queen's official week-long residence at the Palace of Holyroodhouse in Edinburgh.
The Duke of Edinburgh, Prince of Wales and Princess Royal have all received the same honour in the past.
In London, the Duke of Cambridge's wife, Kate, attended her first Buckingham Palace garden party alongside the Queen, the Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall.
She wore a soft pink dress by designer Emilia Wickstead, with matching Jane Corbett hat.
It was the second garden party to be held at the palace so far this year and was attended by 8,000 guests.


Myanmar's parliament has elected Htin Kyaw as the country's next president, the first civilian leader after more than 50 years of military rule.

Htin Kyaw is a close ally of Aung San Suu Kyi, whose National League for Democracy (NLD) party swept to victory in historic elections in November.
He said his appointment was "Aung San Suu Kyi's victory".
Ms Suu Kyi is barred from the post by the constitution, but has said she will lead the country anyway.
How Suu Kyi could be more powerful outside the presidency
Htin Kyaw won with 360 of the 652 votes cast in the two houses of parliament.
In second place was Myint Swe, who was nominated by the military and received 213 votes, followed by the other NLD candidate, Henry Van Thio, who got 79 votes.
They will serve as first vice-president and second vice-president respectively.
"Victory! This is sister Aung San Suu Kyi's victory. Thank you," Htin Kyaw said after winning.
The NLD has a huge majority in both houses of parliament, despite the military occupying 25% of seats, so the candidate it backed was all but guaranteed to win.
Despite her popularity and prominence in Myanmar - also known as Burma -  Ms Suu Kyi could not take the presidency herself.
A clause in the constitution widely seen as being tailored against her says anyone whose children have another nationality cannot become president. Her children hold British passports.
Despite weeks of negotiation prior to the vote, the NLD were unable to persuade the military of Myanmar to remove or suspend the clause to allow Ms Suu Kyi to take office.
But she has always said that she would be "above the president" anyway, with the president effectively acting as a proxy.


Plans for what the Muslim Women's Council says (MWC) would be the UK's first women-led mosque are being discussed at a public consultation event in Bradford.

The MWC is hoping to open the "all-inclusive and fully accessible" mosque in the city.
It said the space would be "for all communities and managed by women, primarily for women".
The event is at the Carlisle Business Centre and runs until 15:30 BST.
Guests include Shuruq Naguib, a lecturer in Islamic studies at Lancaster University and co-chair of the British Association for Islamic Studies, and Shaykh Akram Nadwi, a dean of Cambridge Islamic College and former research fellow at Oxford University.
The MWC said it aimed "to ensure that Muslim women have the space to discuss issues that affect them and their families in their daily lives in an environment that is open to everyone".


A London-based public relations firm is acting on behalf of Gulnara Karimova, the once powerful daughter of Uzbekistan's authoritarian president who has been under house arrest for months.

The firm, Davidson Ryan Dore, is distributing recordings and pictures, smuggled out from Ms Karimova's house in the capital Tashkent, where she says she is being held.
New pictures earlier this week showed Ms Karimova apparently being manhandled by security guards.
The images are a far cry from the glamorous photographs depicting President Karimov's eldest daughter in her previous persona as a pop diva, philanthropist and fashion designer.
Even a year ago Ms Karimova was regarded as one of the most influential and powerful people within the country's elite and a potential successor to her father.
But after a dramatic and public falling out with her family, her privileges and assets have been stripped away. Earlier this month the authorities announced she was under criminal investigation.
The latest pictures show Ms Karimova in the presence of camouflaged guards. In two of the images guards are seen handling her directly as she appears to be arguing.
Last month secret recordings were circulated in which Ms Karimova gave details of her situation in her own voice, saying she and her teenage daughter were being treated "worse than dogs" and needed urgent medical help.
One of the founders of Davidson, Ryan, Dore, the firm distributing the materials, has taken on the function of spokesperson for Ms Karimova.
"We as a firm were appointed three months ago by the friends and family of Gulnara internationally," Locksley Ryan told BBC Uzbek. He did not confirm whether Ms Karimova's son Islam, who studies in London, was involved in appointing the firm.
Mr Ryan said that the firm had several ways of making contact with Ms Karimova but that it was extremely difficult.
The latest pictures, he said, were simply showing how she was under guard 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
"It's in complete isolation. The only people that she can talk to are her daughter who is trapped there with her and obviously the guards."
Mr Ryan said there was evidence that Ms Karimova was even denied food.
In the audio recordings which appeared last month, Ms Karimova said her situation had deteriorated greatly.
"The territory of the house is basically surrounded now by hundreds of cameras and special equipment which is blocking any means of communication. So it's tremendous pressure and stress on me and my daughter. We need medical help urgently," Karimova says in one of the recordings.
Locksley Ryan says that after the recordings were made public, all staff at the house were Ms Karimova is being held were moved.
"Once those were forwarded to various outlets, suddenly all of the personnel from the house were removed and sent everywhere."
In a statement on a new website called Free Gulnara Now, Mr Ryan says that the president's daughter was directly appealing to the international community "that her fate be determined by the independent courts and not by individuals battling for political gain".
Ms Karimova has been linked to several investigations in Europe, including a corruption investigation in Switzerland where bank accounts linked to her have been frozen.
Ten days ago the Uzbek prosecutor's office announced that Ms Karimova was being investigated in Uzbekistan over alleged links to a criminal group.
"If there are claims that she has done something wrong then let her face those claims. Let her go to Switzerland and understand the accusations made to her and let a court decide," Mr Ryan told the BBC.
He dismissed the Uzbek accusations as politically motivated.
"Is it just a coincidence that at a time that the election campaign starts suddenly the prosecutor deems to start to investigate her?"
Ms Karimova was long considered to be a potential successor to her father - elections are due next year.
Davidson Ryan Dore's strategy appears to be to try to get Ms Karimova out of the country to answer allegations in a European court.
Mr Ryan says that the sentencing of several of Ms Karimova's associates shows that the Uzbek legal system is unlikely to deliver justice.
"It is unknown to me how someone can get investigated, prosecuted and disappear into a military court and then be sentenced with no access to any form of public scrutiny, maybe not even have lawyers. I can't see how that can be just."
Human rights groups have long criticised what they say is the country's abysmal human rights record.
But observers say that Ms Karimova's own fall from grace and subsequent detention is hardly comparable to the fate of those suffering torture and abuse in Uzbek prisons.


Investors boosted shares of Amazon on Monday in anticipation of strong sales during the firm's heavily promoted summer discount day.

Amazon's global sales during the Prime Day event could approach $1bn, according to a JP Morgan forecast.
The firm's shares rose 1.8% amid wider gains for tech stocks on Wall Street.
However, traditional retailers fared less well, with shares in Best Buy and Macy's falling more than 6% and Kohl's stock dropping nearly 5%.
The tech-heavy Nasdaq index rose 0.4% to 6,176.39, lifted by Amazon as well as Google-owner Alphabet and Facebook.
The Dow Jones and S&P 500 finished little changed at 21,408.52 and 2,427.43 respectively.
For members of Amazon's subscription service, the sales event - which starts on Monday night - means discounts on items ranging from its voice-activated Echo robot, through to diamond stud earrings and chewing gum.
The JP Morgan forecast of $1bn sales would represent about 55% growth over last year.
Amazon has not disclosed how many people are Prime members, but recent reports have suggested the count in the US could be as many as 85 million - more than a quarter of the US population.
JP Morgan said it expected the sales event to have an effect on shares of rival firms, such as Walmart, which had not been affected in prior years. The retailer's stock fell 2.8% on Monday.
"One can easily argue the retail environment and e-commerce threat is a significantly larger and more sensitive topic this year," the note said.


The Vote Leave campaign says on its website that "UK taxpayers will keep paying for the huge bills caused by the euro crisis" and that "these bills will only increase".

The claim: The Vote Leave campaign is claiming that "UK taxpayers will keep paying for the huge bills caused by the euro crisis" and that "these bills will only increase".
Reality Check verdict: The UK will not pay for future eurozone bailouts. This has already been agreed by EU leaders. In addition, the UK-EU deal from February, which will be implemented if the UK votes to stay in the EU, reinforces this and states that the UK would be reimbursed if the general EU budget is used for the cost of the eurozone crisis.
Former UKIP spokeswoman Suzannne Evans told Andrew Marr earlier on Sunday that the UK already has £9bn worth of loans from previous bailouts and, if the UK votes to remain in the EU, this would continue. She said it would be a green light to Brussels to do anything they like.
Is that true?
The first question to answer is how much the UK has paid towards the eurozone bailouts so far.
The UK has provided a total of €6.5bn (£5bn) via the EU for two bailouts: €3bn for Ireland in November 2010 and €3.5bn for Portugal in May 2011.
With both Ireland and Portugal now out of their bailout programmes, the UK has not lost any money supporting them at the peak of the crisis.
The UK has not made a contribution via the EU for the other eurozone bailouts: the three Greek ones, in 2010, 2012 and 2015 and for the Spain and Cyprus bailouts in 2012.
The UK has made further contributions, not because it was forced to do so by the EU, but because the IMF too provided loans for some of the bailouts. The UK's share of whatever the IMF provides is around 4.5% of the total. It amounts to around €4.5bn for all seven bailout mentioned.
In addition, in 2010, the UK provided €3.9bn in bilateral bailout loans to its neighbour and important trading partner - Ireland.
What has happened since?
In 2011 the EU leaders agreed that the UK and other EU countries which are not in the eurozone, should not be part of any future eurozone bailouts.
The eurozone has subsequently established a new bailout fund, paid for by, and benefiting, eurozone countries only.
In 2015, when the third Greek bailout was agreed, Greece was also given a short term bridging loan of €7bn from an EU-wide fund which can provide loans to any EU country in financial difficulty. The fund is financed by borrowing against the EU Budget. The UK would have been indirectly liable for around €855 million (£598m) of the loan, through its share in the EU Budget.
But the UK government agreed a deal with the EU under which the European Central Bank - i.e. eurozone countries only - would cover any liabilities that would have fallen to the UK or other non-eurozone countries. This meant that the UK and other non-eurozone countries were exempted from any risk of losing money in this emergency loan to Greece.
What would happen if the UK votes to stay in the EU?
As part of the EU-UK agreement, which David Cameron negotiated in February this year, and which will be implemented if the UK votes to stay in the EU, the UK, and other non-eurozone countries, have further guarantees that no EU-wide money can be used to help eurozone countries in crisis:
"Emergency and crisis measures designed to safeguard the financial stability of the euro area will not entail budgetary responsibility for Member States whose currency is not the euro, or, as the case may be, for those not participating in the banking union.
"Appropriate mechanisms to ensure full reimbursement will be established where the general budget of the Union supports costs, other than administrative costs, that derive from the emergency and crisis measures."
Finally, it is important to stress that the much bigger impact on the UK economy from a possible future deepening of the eurozone crisis comes from the inter-connectedness between the UK's and the eurozone's economies through our trade with them and banking, rather than the money provided for bailouts.
If the eurozone was to collapse, the negative economic impact would be felt in the UK regardless of whether it is in or out of the EU.

Two people have been taken to hospital after being attacked by three dogs at their Derbyshire home.

A woman was badly injured at an address on Boythorpe Road, Chesterfield, on Thursday evening, while a man was in "a less serious condition".
Police said two of the animals would be destroyed, while the other is being kennelled while investigations continue.
Officers confirmed the dogs belonged to the couple.


Japanese stocks rallied further on Friday, despite concerns Greece may be forced to leave the eurozone should it fail to negotiate a new bailout deal.

Germany rejected a Greek request for a six-month extension to its loan programme without austerity reforms, calling it a "Trojan horse" proposal.
Japan's benchmark Nikkei 225 and broader Topix both closed 0.3% up at 18,321 and 1,499.28 respectively.
Trading in the rest of Asia was quiet over the Lunar New Year holiday.
Markets in China, Hong Kong, Malaysia, Singapore, South Korea, Taiwan and Vietnam remain closed.
In Sydney, the S&P/ASX 200 ended 0.4% lower at 5,881.50 because of a decline in mining and energy stocks. New Zealand stocks rose 0.4% to finish at 5,748.95.
Andrew Kenningham, senior global economist at Capital Economics said a Greek exit from the eurozone would be felt primarily through the financial markets.
"The shock of 'Grexit' finally taking place would be likely to dampen global risk appetite, leading to a sell-off in global equities and some emerging market assets," he wrote in a report.
"On the other hand, there would be an increase in demand for safe havens, including non-euro government bonds and gold."
Gold prices rose by more than 1% and the metal was trading at about $1,208.70 an ounce in the US spot market overnight.


Over the weekend, while German Chancellor Angela Merkel was hurriedly convening a meeting of European leaders to assess the aftermath of Britain's choice to leave the EU, Cordelia Yzer was on the phone.

The Berlin Senator for Economics and Technology was not chatting to fellow politicians, but with start-ups and global funds, who, in the wake of Brexit, are now considering Germany's capital as their base.
"Those companies who have headquarters in London are aware that they need to be in the EU," she says.
"We had competition in the last two or three years between London and Berlin. I am convinced that more funds will now make the decision in favour of Berlin."
Senator Yzer is not beyond doing some convincing herself. She intends to court many of the venture capital firms that poured more than €2bn (£1.6bn; $2.2bn) into the Berlin tech scene last year.
"We will now take advantage [of Brexit]," she asserts. "And this is more than fair."
Berlin, a city with as good a claim as any to be considered the spiritual heartland of the European project, is mourning the loss of the UK, with which it has deep historical and cultural bonds as well as a strong trade partnership.
But there may be just a touch of schadenfreude in the air too.
"Brexit: 10,000 new jobs" ran the headline of the Berliner Kurier tabloid on Sunday, adding: "Might we emerge with [just] a black eye?"
Indeed, many commentators and economists are betting on Britain not being allowed back into the single market, at least not with all the benefits it previously enjoyed.
"Nobody wants to block the British," says Senator Yzer. "But they made the decision to quit."
The ex-mayor of London and Leave campaigner Boris Johnson, she adds, "will have to explain to the British the burden he put on them by making the decision in favour of Brexit".
While financial services jobs could flow from London to Frankfurt, Berlin, which has a vibrant tech and small business scene, wants to nab that sector's finest for itself.
If there is a mass migration from East London's "Silicon Roundabout" to the German capital, they will find a community with titans such as Soundcloud and Wooga, and one that is rapidly expanding.
"We have more demand than we have office space at the moment," says Travis Todd, chief executive of Silicon Allee, a group currently building a six-floor campus for start-ups in central Berlin, which will house 2,000 workers.
And more may be coming.
"People are already asking, 'What is the alternative to London?'" he says. "If it's going to be much harder to get investment in London, to hire people in London, you are going to see a lot of those companies moving to places where they can do international business."
It's not just access to the single market that could lure young techies to Berlin - there's also an entrepreneurial and pioneering atmosphere, and few companies better encapsulate this than ResearchGate, a social network for the scientific community with more than 10 million users, and with high-profile investors such as Bill Gates.
Its founder, Ijad Madisch, is as confounded by Brexit as many of his contemporaries are in London.
"The young people all voted for being in the EU, and this is a clear signal," says Madisch, whose Superman cap and grey slacks belie his background as an accomplished virologist. "You cannot just negotiate this away."
Indeed the very idea of pulling up the drawbridge is an anathema to him.
"This whole country thing is a very old thing," says Madisch. "I'm not a big fan of these separations between countries. But as entrepreneurs we always adjust to political environments."
Not everyone is so sure.
On the other side of town, Artur Fischer runs the Berlin Boerse stock exchange, which promotes itself as being a gateway to European markets.
He says talk of tech firms flocking to Berlin comes from those who "underestimate what makes London London".
"There will not be a huge exodus in my opinion," he explains. "London has its own unique ecosystem, it attracts the best skill-set from the whole world, including Europe, and that's not going away."
One of the advantages London has is a large financial hub, as well as a tech scene, and a framework in which the two interact.
This might not be so easy to replicate, says Fischer, and consequently, we might end up with a "fragmented situation" in Europe, where "we do not have another single centre which competes directly with London".
Instead, business could be spread between Frankfurt, Milan, Paris and other cities.
Ultimately, all business leaders in Berlin can do is try to make predictions - they don't know what kind of a deal will be struck between Westminster and Brussels, and they don't know how long it will take.
But in the meantime, Senator Yzer is making her pitch directly to young Britons.
"Young people who voted In are welcome in Berlin," she says, staring out of the window of her office, just a few steps away from the square in which John F Kennedy gave his iconic "Ich bin ein Berliner" speech.
"They are welcome, their talent is more than welcome. It's a great place to live and we also speak English.
"Berlin is a place where their dreams can come true."
