Asked by:
Steve Barclay (Conservative)

As the Prime Minister set out in his written statement on 13 October 2014, the Minister for Business and Enterprise as the Government’s Anti-Corruption Champion will oversee the Government response to domestic and international corruption. His appointment demonstrates the Government’s continued commitment to tackling this issue both at home and abroad.

The Government will publish a cross-departmental anti-corruption plan, setting out the range of activity currently underway and future policy directions, later this year and this will provide further information about the role.

The Anti-Corruption Champion is supported by officials in both the Cabinet Office and Home Office who lead on the co-ordination of international and domestic anti-corruption work across departments.
