Criminal Finances Bill

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 25 April 2017. It occurred during Debate on bills on Criminal Finances Bill.

I am delighted that the noble Baroness seems to take a personal interest in this issue. While 1,000 sounds a big number, the substantive cases have dropped to below 100. Given the size of the industry in the UK, that is a worryingly low number; I suspect that even the FCA is significantly worried about it. I am very glad that the noble Baroness said that the Government would look at this issue again. I hope to pursue that but it is good news that we did not have before, frankly. On that basis, and with thanks to the noble Lord, Lord Rosser, for his comments on this issue, I will obviously withdraw.
