To ask His Majesty's Government how many people and corporate bodies have been investigated, charged, and prosecuted for facilitating tax evasion under the Criminal Finances Act 2017, and what the outcomes of these investigation and enforcement activities have been in each case.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many people and corporate bodies have been investigated, charged, and prosecuted for facilitating tax evasion under the Criminal Finances Act 2017, and what the outcomes of these investigation and enforcement activities have been in each case.
The Criminal Finances Act 2017 came into effect on 30 September 2017 and are new offences applicable to organisations that fail to prevent the facilitation of tax evasion from that date onwards.
Updates on the number of HMRC interventions are provided bi-annually on Gov.UK pages Number of live Corporate Criminal Offences investigations - GOV.UK (www.gov.uk)
The Criminal Finances Act 2017 is specific legislation in relation to corporates and not individuals, so the element of the question pertaining to individuals is not applicable and no information can be provided in that respect.
However, as per a previous PQ HL6278 asked on 8th March 2023, tackling enablers of tax fraud remains a top priority for HMRC. HMRC is working with partners across the world to take action against enablers.

To ask His Majesty's Government how many highway authorities have applied to the Department for Transport for civil enforcement of moving traffic offences, as set out in Part 6 of the Traffic Management Act 2004; and how many highway authorities have been granted these powers.
Designation Orders granting powers to civilly enforce contraventions of moving traffic restrictions outside London are being introduced in tranches reflecting applicant local authorities’ different states of readiness. The first Order came into force on 15 July 2022 in respect of 12 local authorities. A second Order is currently before Parliament and is due to come into force on 22 July 2023 in respect of a further 40 local authorities. All applications had to meet a list of prerequisites set by Ministers in statutory guidance.
Subject to approval of the Parliamentary Business and Legislation Committee, a third Order is planned for early 2024, for which the application deadline is 25 October. No formal applications have yet been received.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) ships or craft, and (2) aircraft, are allocated by each department for security and enforcement operations in the UK's Territorial Seas and Exclusive Economic Zone.
To ask His Majesty's Government how many (1) ships or craft, and (2) aircraft, are allocated by each department for security and enforcement operations in the UK's Territorial Seas and Exclusive Economic Zone.
There are more than 100 surface vessels and 10 crewed aircraft available in the HMG inventory to deliver maritime security. The Government does not confirm exact numbers for operational and security reasons. The number available on any given day is based on operational readiness profiles; for example, requirements for maintenance and training, and use for wider operational tasking. The Joint Maritime Security Centre maintains a record of the HMG inventory, which is regularly reviewed and updated.
In delivering maritime security in the UK Marine Area, the UK operates a layered approach to coastal and maritime defence, including on-shore resources, intelligence and surveillance capabilities, to detect those seeking either to smuggle illicit goods or to facilitate illegal entry into the UK.
To ask His Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the potential impact of the use of digital evidence in the enforcement around insecure roads of litter laws upon (a) road safety, and (b) the Highways Agency litter performance indicator.
To ask His Majesty's Government what is their assessment of the potential impact of the use of digital evidence in the enforcement around insecure roads of litter laws upon (a) road safety, and (b) the Highways Agency litter performance indicator.
Under Section 8 of the Road Traffic Act (1991), a person is guilty of an offence if they use, or permit or cause another person to use, a motor vehicle or trailer on a road when the condition of the motor vehicle or trailer or of its accessories or equipment, or the weight, position or distribution of its load or the manner in which it is secured, is such that the use of the motor vehicle or trailer involves a danger of injury to any person. Enforcement in this area is conducted by the Driver and Vehicle Standards Agency’s enforcement officers and the police.
National Highways engages with organisations who have the necessary powers to take enforcement action. Commercial operators and drivers are legally obliged to ensure their loads are effectively secured, and risk finding themselves subject to disciplinary action by the Traffic Commissioner responsible for the issue of heavy goods operator licences, if found to be littering with an unsecure load.
National Highways are currently working with a local authority to trial the use of Artificial Intelligence and camera technology to provide evidence of littering to support local authority enforcement. This trial forms part of National Highways’ approach to reduce littering and litter on the strategic road network, thus increasing performance against its litter performance metric. If the trial is successful, National Highways will consider potential future roll out.
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, (1) to give National Highways enforcement powers to tackle the dropping or dumping of litter on motorways in England, and (2) to increase penalties for those who commit such offences.
To ask His Majesty's Government what plans they have, if any, (1) to give National Highways enforcement powers to tackle the dropping or dumping of litter on motorways in England, and (2) to increase penalties for those who commit such offences.
Government has no plans to give National Highways enforcement powers to tackle littering offences on motorways in England. National Highways is not an enforcement organisation as its focus is on safety and maintaining the road network.
In recent years Government has bolstered Local Authority enforcement powers by raising the upper limit on fixed penalty notices for littering and introducing powers to issue the keeper of a vehicle from which litter is thrown with a civil penalty.
We are committed to working with National Highways and across Government to improve enforcement around roadside littering offences.
