While the way in which firms choose to do this is not stipulated in law or by the regulator, firms are assisted in making such policies through industry produced guidance notes. For the financial institutions, these are the Joint Money Laundering Steering Group (JMLSG) guidance notes.</p><p> </p><p>The JMLSG guidance notes acknowledge that if Travellers are not able to produce standard identification evidence, and if verification of address is necessary, a check with the local authority, which has to register travellers’ sites, may sometimes be helpful.</p><p> </p><p>More widely, the Government has also committed to establish a Financial Inclusion Policy Forum, which will provide leadership and ensure collaboration across government and with the sector in tackling financial exclusion.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 16/03/2018 11:26:18 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
