Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what discussions she has had with the Foreign Secretary on the active enforcement of the OECD Anti Bribery Convention.

The UK has been recognised as a country which actively enforces the OECD Convention on Combating Bribery of Foreign Public Officials in International Business Transactions (the “OECD Anti-Bribery Convention”).

The UK Anti-Corruption Strategy was published on December 11 and contains a clear commitment to promote international implementation of the OECD Anti Bribery Convention, together with other international standards. The Joint Anti-Corruption Unit in the Home Office is working closely with the FCO, DFID, HMT and law enforcement agencies to this end.
