uin	133817
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>This Government is committed to making the UK a hostile place for illicit finance. Knowing who ultimately owns and controls a company is an important part of the global fight against corruption, money laundering and terrorist financing. It can assist law enforcement in their investigations, and additionally act as a deterrent. Our public register of company beneficial ownership, the People with Significant Control register, went live in June 2016. In June last year, this requirement was extended to Scottish Limited Partnerships. Last year we further strengthened our anti-money laundering regime through the Money Laundering Regulations 2017, bringing our system into line with the international standards as set by the Financial Action Task Force.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 27/03/2018 10:34:56 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen

uin	133486
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/03/2018 answer text <p>Decisions on overdraft fees and charges are a commercial matter for firms. The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) requires firms to treat their customers fairly and has broad and robust powers to enforce breaches of its rules.</p><p>In its July 2017 review of high-cost credit, the FCA concluded that it had concerns about both arranged and unarranged overdrafts. On 31 January 2018 the FCA published an update on its review, confirming it had seen evidence of consumer harm and would be undertaking further analysis to identify the extent of that harm, and how it might be resolved. The FCA has committed to publishing the results of this analysis in May 2018. The FCA also confirmed that overdrafts would be considered as part of its wider Strategic Review of Retail Business Banking Models and that it would look to consult on any further remedies towards the end of 2018, taking into account the findings of the Strategic Review.</p><p>The Government supports the FCA’s work in this area and will continue to work with it to ensure that all consumers who use high-cost credit products are treated fairly.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen grouped question UIN 133487 question first answered 27/03/2018 10:33:49 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
