Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when he plans to review progress on the commitments made at the 2016 International Anti-Corruption Summit; and what the timetable is for further reviews of that progress.
Progress on the anti-corruption commitments made at the 2016 Summit is continuously monitored.
The UK has made good progress. Since last May, we have for example:
● Established a public central register of beneficial ownership information;
● Introduced Unexplained Wealth Orders and other important anti-corruption measures through the Criminal Finances Act;
● Undergone the first IMF Fiscal Transparency Evaluation for a G7 country; and
● Launched the ‘Contracting 5’ (C5) initiative at the Open Government Partnership Global Summit 2016 with Colombia, France, Mexico, and Ukraine.
