Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, which government departments will be involved in the Government's review of enforcement of anti-corruption legislation.

The Government is reviewing the coordination and effectiveness of the UK’s enforcement response to cases of bribery and corruption. The review has commenced and is expected to conclude by the end of the year. The Home Office is leading the review supported by the Cabinet Office, Department for International Development, the Attorney General’s Office, Crown Prosecution Service, Serious Fraud Office and National Crime Agency. Ministers will consider the recommendations in due course.

The Government has established a ministerial group on anti-corruption, attended by ministers and officials from relevant departments and agencies. Its work continues and is supported by officials in the Cabinet Office as well as the Home Office which leads on the co-ordination of domestic and international anti-corruption work across departments. The Government is also working on, and will publish, a cross-departmental anti-corruption plan, setting out activity currently underway and future policy directions.
