Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 September 2024

Debate

International Anti-Corruption Court

Contribution

My Lords, I welcome the Minister to the Front Bench. The United Kingdom’s international anti-corruption unit has been a world-leading capability since its establishment in 2017. As we heard last year, by 2023 it had “disseminated 146 intelligence reports, identified £1.4 billion-worth of assets, and supported the freezing of £623 million-worth of assets”.—[Official Report, 6/7/23; col. 1301.] Grand corruption is a grave issue. What further steps will the Government take to better recover stolen assets?
