This will require such firms to conduct due diligence upon their customers, with their activities being overseen by national competent authorities for these areas. The government supports the intention behind these amendments. We expect these negotiations to conclude at EU level in late 2017/early 2018.</p> answering member constituency North East Cambridgeshire answering member printed Stephen Barclay question first answered 08/12/2017 08:25:56 answering member 4095 label Biography information for Steve Barclay
