Criminal Finances Bill

Proceeding contribution from Charlie Elphicke (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 25 October 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Finances Bill.

I welcome my hon. Friend to his place as Security Minister. His appointment is much deserved.

May I ask him about seizure and forfeiture powers? Previous legislation in this area has not been entirely successful in ensuring that the assets of criminals are seized. Can the Minister explain to the House why the provisions in this Bill will make a difference? We want to ensure that we grab the money off the criminals so that they cannot carry on with their illegal enterprises.
