Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether she has received representations from (a) Police Scotland or (b) the National Crime Agency on the use of Scottish Limited Partnerships for criminal enterprise.

The National Risk Assessment (NRA) of Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing is the UK’s stock-take of our collective knowledge of money laundering and terrorist financing risks in the UK.

The NRA is jointly produced by the Home Office and HM Treasury and draws on evidence submitted by law enforcement agencies, government departments, supervisors, firms and non-governmental organisations.

The latest NRA (published in 2020 and found at https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/national-risk-assessment-of-money-laundering-and-terrorist-financing-2020) assesses the use of Scottish Limited Partnerships in criminal enterprise.
