Treasury Committee to quiz online tech giants on Economic Crime

• Parliament TV: Economic crime
• Inquiry: Economic crime
• Treasury Committtee

Purpose of the session

This session is part of the Committee’s inquiry reviewing progress in combatting economic crime, exploring anti-money laundering systems, the sanctions regime, and how consumers are affected by the issue.

MPs are likely to use the session to explore topics including what large online platforms are doing to prevent online advertising of scams and whether they are currently enabling fraud, the implications for platforms and site users of increasing regulation, and the current role of regulators including the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA).

The Committee will also explore what further action on economic crime could be taken by the Government, including potential measures to be taken through the Online Safety Bill.
