Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how much the Government has spent on tackling money laundering in its first Economic Crime Plan; and to which programmes that funding was allocated.
We have strengthened our fight against economic crime through the publication of the landmark Economic Crime Plan in July 2019, which brought together government, law enforcement and the private sector in cooperation to deliver a whole system response to economic crime.
The total Spending Review 2021 settlement and the Economic Crime Levy represent an overall package of circa £400 million to tackle economic crime over the next three years.
Annual reports and accounts detailing past Departmental expenditure are available on Gov.uk.
