answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/10/2018 answer text <p>The EU’s Fourth Anti-Money Laundering Directive requires Member States to ensure that companies in their jurisdictions obtain and hold information on their beneficial owners. The UK’s register of company beneficial owners, the People with Significant Control register, went live in June 2016, and UK companies have been required to obtain, hold and provide to Companies House their beneficial ownership information. The UK’s anti-money laundering regime is currently being evaluated by the Financial Action Task Force, which will report in due course. Following this evaluation, the Government will actively consider areas where the anti-money laundering framework can be improved. The Government will look in particular at controls over who registers companies in the UK, what information they have to provide, and how assurance is provided over that information.</p> answering member constituency Rochester and Strood answering member printed Kelly Tolhurst question first answered 16/10/2018 16:24:49 answering member 4487 label Biography information for Kelly Tolhurst
