Criminal Finances Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Hodge of Barking (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 October 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Finances Bill.

I am extremely grateful to the Minister for giving way. I agree with the content of his remarks, but I wish to pursue further the issue that has been raised by the hon. Member for Belfast East (Gavin Robinson). Does the Minister agree that transparency is absolutely key to trying to tackle some of the corruption and money laundering that take place? If he does agree, why is he not using this Bill to ensure that the overseas territories and Crown dependencies, which come under our jurisdiction, publish publicly available registers of beneficial ownership?
