The UK is set to lose £31bn in tax revenue while the illicit finance summit is delayed yet again. Our APPG members @Steffanaquarone and @HattonLloyd have warned that dirty money has real consequences for public services and national security.

Estate agents, banks and lawyers must carry out due diligence on property buyers. But developers selling their own homes off-plan face no such duty.
As the country works to build the homes it needs, we cannot allow new developments to become a safe haven for dirty money.
Today the APPG held its 2026 AGM, attended by MPs and peers from Labour, the Conservatives, the Liberal Democrats and the Independent benches.
Tackling corruption and dirty money is not a party political issue, and our members are united across party lines in taking it on.
🗳️As the Representation of the People Bill moves to its later stages, we will continue to work with parliamentarians to strengthen the integrity of our democracy.
This week is Labour Party Conference.

Peers from across the Lords used the Second Reading of the Representation of the People Bill to say the same thing: the Bill leaves too much open or unaddressed, and the stakes are too high for it to do so 👇
New ‘Know Your Donor’ checks should be made much tougher, in line with the strict standards financial institutions are held to. And the effectiveness of the Bill’s £100,000 cap on overseas donations is already being tested - to the tune of £72m.
The APPG on Anti-Corruption and Responsible Tax welcomes the Government's new Anti-Money Laundering and Asset Recovery Strategy.
There is real ambition here, including £550 million of investment over 3 years and 500 new officers across law enforcement and justice 👇
Why should the taxpayer be asked to stump up, when we should be making the criminals pay?
Get this right, and this Strategy could be transformative.
