The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of the effectiveness of the UK-UAE Illicit Finance Partnership Agreement.

Answered by Dan Jarvis

The UK–UAE Illicit Finance Partnership is overseen at Ministerial level, including through an annual Illicit Finance Ministerial Dialogue which reviews effectiveness.

The UK-UAE Illicit Finance Dialogue in September 2025 was successful in reaffirming both countries' commitment to tackling illicit finance flows, strengthening joint efforts across operational, policy, and strategic outcomes in the Partnership.
