answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 08/09/2020 answer text <p>The Government remains determined to ensure there is no safe space for illicit finance or corruption in our society. The Financial Action Task Force (FATF) completed a landmark review of the UK’s regime for tackling money laundering and terrorist financing in December 2018, concluding that we have some of the strongest controls in the world.</p><p>The register will be the first of its kind in the world.

This will make the legislation as effective as possible in tackling the use of UK property for the purpose of money laundering.</p><p>I refer the Rt. Hon.
