	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 25/11/2014 answer text <p>The Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) conducts anti-money laundering supervision on a risk-sensitive basis, meaning that it focuses on those firms, including banks, which present the highest level of money laundering risk. For example, firms in its highest risk band, which include major banks, are subject to an in-depth ‘systematic AML Programme’, which operates on a four-year rolling cycle and lasts several months, whereas firms that are in lower risk categories are subject to regular on-site inspections and/or visited on an events-driven basis or when they are part of a thematic review.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p>The FCA does not comment on its ongoing AML supervision of banks, but publishes the findings of its thematic reviews, the latest of which considered how small banks manage high ML risk situations and was published in November 2014. It found that most small banks are failing effectively to manage ML risk. The results of thematic reviews are published on the FCA’s website: <a href="http://www.fca.org.uk/your-fca/documents/fsa-aml-final-report" target="_blank">http://www.fca.org.uk/your-fca/documents/fsa-aml-final-report</a> and <a href="http://www.fca.org.uk/news/tr14-16-how-small-banks-manage-money-laundering-and-sanctions-risk" target="_blank">http://www.fca.org.uk/news/tr14-16-how-small-banks-manage-money-laundering-and-sanctions-risk</a></p> answering member constituency South Northamptonshire answering member printed Andrea Leadsom question first answered 25/11/2014 14:47:10 answering member 4117 label Biography information for Andrea Leadsom

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/01/2018 answer text <p>A large proportion of funding from the NPIF – established at Autumn Statement 2016 and expanded to £31bn at Autumn Budget 2017 – has already been allocated to its four target sectors: transport, housing, digital communications and R&amp;D. Breakdowns within these sectors can be found on page 44 of the 2017 Autumn Budget document. Specific projects are selected through a variety of mechanisms that are tailored to achieve programme goals and ensure high value for money.</p><p> </p><p>Funding allocations from the NPIF are not specifically made by region. However the NPIF is intended to fund projects that help to boost productivity and prosperity throughout the UK and across regions. For example, at the Autumn Budget 2017, the government made an allocation specifically benefitting the North East, announcing £337m of new funding from the NPIF to replace rolling stock on the Tyne &amp; Wear Metro. It also established a new £1.7bn Transforming Cities Fund. This funding will be widely distributed, with £840m of per capita funding to be transferred to the six Mayoral Combined Authorities with directly elected mayors, and £840m open for competition for transport projects in cities. These announcements and others demonstrate a commitment to invest to improve productivity in all UK regions.</p> answering member constituency South West Norfolk answering member printed Elizabeth Truss question first answered 11/01/2018 14:16:03 answering member 4097 label Biography information for Elizabeth Truss
