Written Question
Tax Evasion: Prosecutions
Monday 25th April 2016

Asked by: Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat - Life peer)

Question to the Attorney General:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what action is being taken by the Crown Prosecution Service following the publication of the Panama Papers.

Answered by Lord Keen of Elie - Shadow Minister (Justice)

The Government has announced plans to create a cross-agency taskforce to investigate all evidence of illegality that has emerged from the so called “Panama Papers” revelations. The Government will take whatever action is necessary after the work of the taskforce has been completed.

The Crown Prosecution Service will advise on any criminal investigations commenced by HMRC, the police or the National Crime Agency and will bring criminal proceedings if cases pass the evidential and public interest stages of the Code for Crown Prosecutors.
