The Sanctions and Anti-Money Laundering Bill was introduced into the House of Lords this week (on 18 October 2017).  The Government’s press release states that the Bill “ensures that when the UK leaves the EU, we can continue to impose, update, and lift sanctions and AML regimes”. Impact assessment here and regulatory policy committee assessment here.  See previous blog for the background to this Bill and consultation process.
