Report of the Remembrancer

The Committee received a report of the Remembrancer that set out those aspects of the Criminal Finance Act relevant to the Police Committee.

The Commissioner provided advised that the new Criminal Finances Act offered opportunities for policing in respect of Unexplained Wealth Orders, which had previously been difficult to deal with under other legislation. The Commissioner also referenced the advantages that might be brought to criminal investigations where the UK’s beneficial ownership register would prove useful in providing and satisfying lines of enquiry, which previously may have been unavailable.

RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
