Tuesday 27th October 2015 Commons Chamber

[Carolyn Harris (Swansea East) (Lab)]

T3. Given the growing evidence that fixed-odds betting terminals are being used as a prime vehicle through which to launder money, will the Chancellor assure the House that there will be a prominent focus on the machines in his upcoming anti-laundering action plan?

[The Economic Secretary to the Treasury (Harriett Baldwin)]

The hon. Lady will be aware that we are in the process of considering how we implement the fourth anti-money-laundering directive. We will be looking closely at the evidence, and I encourage her to get in touch with me.
