Criminal Finances Bill

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

Although I support the Bill, does the Minister agree that there is no point in legislating if the agencies tasked with enforcing the legislation simply do not have the resources to do so? For example, since the creation of the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation, as far as I am aware from talking to lawyers who work on white-collar crime practices, there has been no enforcement whatever. All of us who want to support the Bill would like to hear reassurance that there will be the resources to match the good intent.
