The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to his interview with the i newspaper, published on 3 June 2024, what recent progress he has made on establishing a summit of allies and international financial centres to tackle dirty money.

Answered by Anneliese Dodds

This government will drive a powerful agenda to tackle corruption and kleptocracy both at home and internationally. Working in partnership with international financial centres to tackle illicit finance is a priority. The FCDO is working across HMG to explore a range of options to deliver on this agenda and is actively considering different ways to increase the leadership of the UK in this area.
