Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with reference to the Prime Minister's article in the Huffington Post, published on 6 June 2015, what the source is for the Prime Minister's statement that the OECD has judged the UK to be one of only four countries globally which actively pursues bribery of foreign public officials.

The OECD collects data on enforcement from all 41 members of the convention on bribery of foreign public officials. Transparency International’s ‘Exporting Corruption’ report, last published in December 2014, ranked the UK as an ‘active enforcer’ against foreign bribery, together with Germany, the United States of America and Switzerland.
