In a parliamentary debate on Thursday, secured by the All-Party Parliamentary Groups (APPGs) on Fair Business Banking and Anti-Corruption and Responsible Tax, MPs called for tougher regulations to combat economic crime in the UK with one call to completely reform Companies House to make it a regulator and not just a register.

Dame Margaret Hodge, supported by Conservative MP Kevin Hollinrake, raised the issue in the Commons as part of a debate on the Finance Bill, highlighting the Pandora Papers and the central role of London in facilitating economic crime.
