answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/10/2015 answer text <p>The opaque nature of such structures means that we are unable to produce an accurate estimate of how many are used to invest corrupt money in the UK. That is one reason why the Prime Minister put beneficial ownership transparency at the heart of the UK’s G8 Presidency in 2013. The Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act received Royal Assent earlier this year and established a public register of company beneficial ownership information. This register will be operational from June 2016. The Act also abolished bearer shares and introduced a requirement for all company directors to be natural persons.</p><p>In Europe, we worked hard during the negotiation of the 4<sup>th</sup> Anti-Money Laundering Directive to encourage European partners to match our level of ambition to ensure that criminal activity would not simply be displaced. The Directive was formally adopted in June 2015 and requires all Member States to implement central registers of company beneficial ownership will access for competent authorities, obliged entities and those with a legitimate interest. Member states have until June 2017 to transpose these requirements.</p><p>The Government is continuing to take strong action to make the UK a hostile environment for corrupt money and to make it increasingly difficult for criminals to abuse corporate structures. We will shortly publish the UK’s first National Risk Assessment of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing and have committed to publishing an Anti-Money Laundering Action Plan to address those issues which are highlighted by the National Risk Assessment.</p> answering member constituency West Worcestershire answering member printed Harriett Baldwin question first answered 12/10/2015 13:44:54 answering member 4107 label Biography information for Dame Harriett Baldwin

Under the government-funded broadband programmes each week we continue to see a further 40,000 premises able to access superfast broadband speeds. Through government investment of over £780 million, superfast broadband is available to over 80% of homes and businesses in the UK compared to 45% in 2010 and by the end of 2017 it will be available to 95% of homes and businesses.</p> answering member constituency Wantage answering member printed Mr Edward Vaizey question first answered 15/09/2015 15:59:03 answering member 1580 label Biography information for Lord Vaizey of Didcot
