How the Debate Unfolded
MPs spoke in turn to share their views and ask questions. Here's what each person said:
Lead Contributor
The Government published the Anti-Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Strategy 2026-2029, aimed at combating money laundering which fuels serious and organised crime, including drug trafficking, people smuggling, fraud, corruption, and terrorism. The strategy involves over £550m of investment over three years, resulting in 500 new law enforcement officers and specialists by the end of 2029. It focuses on three objectives: making UK defences more effective, disrupting money laundering and criminal networks, and recovering more criminal assets. The strategy will target high-priority threats, integrate financial intelligence, and empower the system with necessary resources to act against professional money laundering networks and enablers.

The strategy involves targeting high-priority threats, integrating financial intelligence, and empowering the system with necessary resources to act against professional money laundering networks and enablers. It includes better targeting, integrating, and empowering the UK’s anti-money laundering and asset recovery system to disrupt money laundering and criminal networks, and recover criminal assets for law enforcement, victims, and the public. The reforms will protect communities, support legitimate businesses, and ensure victims benefit from recovered assets, making the UK a harder place for criminals to operate.
