Proceeding contribution from Priti Patel (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 7 March 2022. It occurred during Debate on bill on Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Bill.


Economic Crime (Transparency and Enforcement) Bill

That is a really important point. This is about how we operationalise the Bill—how we use the tools that we are giving our agencies. Yes, resourcing is required. We have already stepped up with a new kleptocracy unit in the NCA and have put more resources into it. We are absolutely not going to stop—we cannot stop. We are catching up in many quarters, we really are, and we want to use the full force of legislation and the full force of the law to go after many of these individuals.
