Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the conclusion in the National Crime Agency's National Strategic Assessment of Serious and Organised Crime 2018 that there is an increased likelihood of British businesses coming into contact with corrupt markets and being drawn into corrupt practices after Brexit; and what steps they are taking to safeguard against those risks.

The Home Office is reviewing the conclusions of the National Crime Agency's National Strategic Assessment of Serious and Organised Crime 2018. The government is committed to supporting businesses which operate overseas. The UK Anti-Corruption Strategy, which runs from 2017-2022 sets out 18 clear commitments from across government to improve the global business environment.
