Written Answers
British Overseas Territories: Companies
Asked by: Ian Roome (Liberal Democrat - North Devon)
Tuesday 15th July 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, with reference to the Sanctions and Anti‑Money Laundering Act 2018, what steps his Department will take to ensure British Overseas Territories implement public registers of beneficial ownership in a timely fashion; and what assessment he has made of the potential impact of legitimate interest access to beneficial ownership registers on levels of transparency.

Answered by Stephen Doughty - Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

Please refer to my Written Ministerial Statement of 3 July which provides an update and details of next steps.

We have made very clear to our partners in the remaining Overseas Territories the importance of delivering on the previously committed to deadlines, and have offered technical support to achieve this. We have communicated that we expect rapid and robust action to be taken, given the crucial importance of tackling illicit finance and increasing transparency. We have set out that we expect access to be granted to a wide range of legitimate users, that registers should enable proactive investigations and should act as a deterrent to those seeking to conceal illicit gains.

Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office officials have conducted an in-house assessment of the latest policies and proposals from these Overseas Territories against the discussions at the Joint Ministerial Council in November 2024. In addition, we have reviewed feedback from a range of external stakeholders including expert NGOs and parliamentarians. We have also considered emerging international modalities which cover legitimate interest access registers.

Democratic Republic of the Congo: Crimes against Humanity
Asked by: Lord Alton of Liverpool (Crossbench - Life peer)
Monday 12th May 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government, following the answer by Lord Collins of Highbury on 25 February (HL Deb col 1578), what actions have they taken to hold those responsible for crimes against humanity to account, in relation to the execution of Christians by Islamic State in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

We are alarmed and saddened by the attacks by IS-affiliated Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC), including the reported attack on 25 February in Lubero in North Kivu. We continue to monitor the situation. We have raised the actions of the ADF in the UN repeatedly and have sanctioned ADF through the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act. The UK continues to remind all parties of their obligations under international humanitarian law and make clear that all those who have committed human rights violations and abuses must be held accountable. We work with multilateral bodies, including the UN, to promote and protect human rights in DRC. Our Ambassador in Kinshasa and UK Ministers regularly raise these issues with the government of DRC.

Democratic Republic of the Congo: Minerals
Asked by: Lord Bishop of Winchester (Bishops - Bishops)
Friday 11th April 2025

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what guidance they have issued to UK companies that operate in industries at risk of exposure to illicit minerals originating from territory occupied by M23 rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of the Congo.

Answered by Lord Collins of Highbury - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)

The UK has sanctioned M23 and other armed groups through the Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act. We support the Extractive Industries Transparency Initiative, which aims to improve transparency and governance in the mining sector. The UK works through international mechanisms that enable businesses to operate responsibly in conflict affected and high-risk areas. The UK is also a member of the Voluntary Principles for Security and Human Rights, which promote a set of principles to guide companies in the extractives sector to maintain the safety and security of their operations to reduce the risk of human rights abuses. We expect all UK businesses to respect human rights throughout their operations, in line with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights and the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises. Implementation of these frameworks supports access to justice and remedy for victims of business-related human rights abuses.
