Answer from Hansard

The Minister of State, Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (Stephen Doughty)

Mr Speaker, may I associate myself entirely with your remarks about Her late Majesty? The illicit finance summit will convene a coalition of international partners to scale up global enforcement against illicit finance. The summit will forge new partnerships to combat this shared threat, including illicit gold, money laundering in the property sector and the abuse of cryptoassets. The summit builds on our long-term commitment to this agenda, which is also shown in the 2025 UK anti-corruption strategy, and will complement our upcoming presidency of the Financial Action Task Force and other meetings.
