uin	100285
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 15/10/2020 answer text <p>The Government does not advise paying ransoms to criminals. The payment of a ransom to criminals is likely to encourage further criminal activity and does not guarantee a successful outcome.</p><p>The legal decision of whether or not to pay the ransom is ultimately a matter for the individuals or organisations concerned. We encourage victims of ransom demands to contact the authorities for support. An offence may arise from a possibility of money laundering or terrorist financing taking place as a result of a ransom payment.</p> answering member constituency Old Bexley and Sidcup answering member printed James Brokenshire question first answered 15/10/2020 12:54:35 answering member 1530 label Biography information for James Brokenshire
