Access to this register will also be extended to firms regulated for anti-money laundering purposes, and those persons with a ‘legitimate interest’ in the information. The Government will consult on the transposition of this change in due course. 5AMLD has a transposition deadline during January 2020. This falls within the implementation period, and so the UK will transpose this Directive.</p> answering member constituency Salisbury answering member printed John Glen question first answered 10/12/2018 15:20:52 answering member 4051 label Biography information for John Glen
