To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of whether the UK will continue to adopt new EU legislation on anti-money laundering in the event of a no-deal Brexit.

The Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Act 2018 provides the Government with the powers to amend and update anti-money laundering and counter-terrorist financing (AML/CTF) regulations post -Brexit. The Government will use these powers to continue implementing the international AML/CTF standards set by the Financial Action Task Force (FATF), and to continue strengthening the UK’s AML/CTF regime.
