question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Deighton on 17 June (WA 42), whether the current industry guidance, which has been approved by Treasury Ministers, has yet been issued; whether a risk-based approach under the Fourth Money Laundering Directive means that in the United Kingdom, United Kingdom parliamentarians will be treated as politically exposed persons; and, if so, whether the industry guidance will need to be revised.

uin	HL705
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/07/2014 answer text <p>A range of industry anti-money laundering guidance has been issued by bodies such as the Joint Money Laundering Steering Group (JMLSG). The last major revision of the JMLSG guidance was in 2011 although some detailed changes were made in 2013 and 2014. This material is published on the JMLSG website - <a href="http://www.jmlsg.org.uk/" target="_blank">http://www.jmlsg.org.uk/</a></p><p> </p><p>Discussions of the proposed Fourth Money Laundering Directive are continuing. The expectation is that in accordance with the updated global standards adopted by the Financial Action Task Force, domestic Politically Exposed Persons, including UK Parliamentarians may, on a risk-based assessment, be subject to enhanced due diligence.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The Treasury expects that if the Directive is adopted and transposed into UK law, UK anti-money laundering guidance will need to be revised.</p> answering member printed Lord Deighton question first answered 10/07/2014 14:32:58 answering member 4262 label Biography information for Lord Deighton

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government what progress they are making on their consideration of (1) protection of metadata, (2) remedies against lookalikes, and (3) equalisation of penalties for physical and digital copyright infringement.
tabling member printed	Lord Clement-Jones
uin	HL366
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 24/06/2014 answer text <p> </p><p><strong>(1)</strong> The issue of protection of metadata was considered as part of the industry-led Copyright Hub project, to which the Government contributed initial funding. This involved key players seeking cross-industry agreement to help keep metadata with copyright works and resulted in the publication of a voluntary Code of Practice on Creating and Maintaining Metadata in Images. It is clearly important for industry to take up that code of practice, before Government could consider whether or not any further action may be appropriate.</p><p><strong> </strong></p><p><strong>(2) </strong>The Government is considering the case for granting a civil right of action to business against lookalike packaging, for which it launched a review of the Consumer Protection from Unfair Trading Regulations (CPRs). The Review commenced this spring, and the initial call for evidence closed on 19 May. The Government is keen to continue engaging with stakeholders on this issue; a structured roundtable has been scheduled for 14 July. The final report is expected to be published in October.</p><p> </p><p><strong>(3) </strong>The Intellectual Property Office has commissioned Inngot Ltd to carry out a review of the use of copyright infringement sanctions. The review has commenced and is expected to report in November. Data gathering for copyright infringement sentencing is already underway, with a broad range of industry stakeholders being consulted including trade bodies; IP rights owners and IP legal professionals. The Government will consider what further action is needed once the final report has been published.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> answering member printed Viscount Younger of Leckie question first answered 24/06/2014 16:32:44 answering member 4169 label Biography information for Viscount Younger of Leckie

question text	To ask Her Majesty's Government whether they have issued guidance as to whether members of either House of Parliament are, or should be, considered as Politically Exposed Persons for the purposes of United Kingdom financial regulation; and, if so, what guidance.

uin	HL74
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/06/2014 answer text <p>The UK's Money Laundering Regulations 2007 define Politically Exposed Persons [PEPs]. UK Members of Parliament are not currently considered PEPs for UK purposes. However, revised global standards require that they are treated as PEPs.</p><p> </p><p>As similar definitions apply in other jurisdictions UK Parliamentarians are likely to be considered as PEPs in other jurisdictions. We are seeking a risk-based approach to the application of this requirement in negotiating the Fourth Money Laundering Directive.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>Treasury Ministers have approved industry guidance which further confirms that UK Parliamentarians are not PEPs for UK purposes. Some UK banks may apply enhanced due diligence to UK Parliamentarians in accordance with their own risk appetite, and as part of global policies and procedures.</p> answering member printed Lord Deighton question first answered 17/06/2014 15:42:40 answering member 4262 label Biography information for Lord Deighton
