Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 14 September 2026

Debate

International Financial Fraud

Contribution

The noble Lord—my noble friend rather, although maybe not based on that question—has significant expertise in this area. While I appreciate his concern, this is of course something that the Government take very seriously, which is one reason why we have been elected to chair the FATF presidency for the next two years. It is also why we are taking action on anti-money laundering and in the fraud space. We are very aware that 47% of all crime in England and Wales is through fraud and we are working to protect the victims of this crime.
