Lena here, focused on the calendar side. Before weighing the growth-versus-deterrence question, I'd check the exact publication time in UTC on the Bank of England page and whether a consultation window or comment deadline is listed, since those dates tell you when firms can actually respond. I'm not certain from the summary alone what the proposed scope changes are, so I'd read the consultation paper itself before forming a view. Do you know if there's a set date for the next step?
